Thoughts while Traveling

Pinot Grigio
Had another great weekend, full of inspiring excursions. I am glad to see my husband jumping back on the blog wagon, for he has a gift of bringing humor and lightheartedness to Tangos and Flowers, and I am sure a much needed breath of fresh air from my constant confusing and somewhat treacherous musings. We got to spend the weekend together again, which is good for the institution of marriage. Time spent together is always a plus!
We saw Josh Groban in concert on Saturday night, which an altogether wonderful experience. Worth every penny. I miss real music. There is not a whole lot of "real" musicianship out there, and I am grateful to have revisited some. Now, I will always be a fan of Josh Groban till the day I die, however I must say I my favorite part of the show was the violinist, Lucia. She has inspired me to the core of my being. Besides the fact that she is an incredible gifted and more than competent musician, performer, and concert master, she is the embodiment of an artist. She played with her whole body, and truly connected with every note, every rest, every crescendo and decrescendo, every tension and every release the totally inspired music provided her with. She emoted with her eyebrows down to her toes (which we could see because she was barefoot) and I couldn't rip my eyes off of her even if there had been an explosion in the building. Very mesmorizing and inspiring. Wow. What an experience. The collaboration between the amazing pipes that Josh has and her beautiful expression, it was a night that will haunt me, in a good way.
We saw "Sideways" today, an independent film at the little theatre down the street, and that was...interesting. I recommend it, but only to those who can stomach a little nudity (not the pretty kind). I am giggling now because I realize that someone could take that as "Man, Justin and Anna have taken a turn for the worst, indulging in Sunday afternoon porn!" No, no, dear friends, it's not like that. It just has the occasional old hairy man running down the street in his birthday suit. Something I could do without, but the movie had it's redeeming points as well. Such as, I came away with the realization that if I were a wine, I would be a light Pino Grigio.Now that's something we all should know, what type of wine we relate to. Heehee. I guess you gotta see the movie to know what the heck I am talking about, but that's that.
Met with some dear friends tonight and prayed ...for a long time. And it was good. God is moving and administering healing all around me, and it is a beautiful thing to be able to see up close. Praise God for the body of Christ and how we all come from different places and yet the Holy Spirit brings unity and out of that comes growth and healing. Awesome. God is so good.
Ok, time to wind down Sunday and prepare for the new week, with new possibilities, new challenges, and new opportunities to know my creator. Bless you all, all of you that I love that may or may not read this blasted thing...you are loved. I have been so blessed by the people that have come into my life through the years. Blessings....
Adios.

As Heather wrote, we went and saw Josh two weeks ago today. Oh man Oh man...everything about the concert - the staging, Josh's band(his quitarist, Tariq, is amazing), Josh's beautful voice, his quirky and adorable personality and definitely Lucia's performance. I'm definitely purchasing her CD as soon as I get money.
Heather told me last night you wrote about the concert, and we talked about how it would be great to hear you're singing again. I'd love to actually hear you, but to know that you are pursuing it in some way! I'll be praying for God's inspiration on that matter and other parts of your life!
Peace...
