just thought I would update

It has been a while since I posted, so I thought I would update you all.
The reason I have not been posting was because I had some hurt feelings over something that really isn't important anymore. I won't say what it is that hurt my feelings, because I am better now, and back on track. I am sorry to anybody and everybody that I may have offended in my upsettedness. (Is that even a word?)

Life here has been really great. It is that time of year, that everything seems to come together for me. I have been planning our trip to Maui, and working a lot.
Also, Every year a this time, I am involved in a variety show for local charities. It is a riot! I am such the little ham. It is funny that somebody who struggles so much with depression, can get on stage a perform like there is not a care in the world. I love acting, singing and dancing...even though I am not very good, I have a lot of fun. I try to get into all the comedy stuff because by nature I am a comedian. I guess it all comes from my need to make others happy, but in this instance it works.
I have practise every night, and tonight we learned a really hard number. (alright we haven't learned it quite yet, but it should come to gether). We only have two full weeks to practise, and then a week of dress rehearsals and tech stuff. The show is the 5th, 6th, and 7th, and let me tell you by then I should be totally exhausted. I have been doing this sinse the spring of 2000, missing three years because of scheduling problems. The first time I missed was because I had just had my appendix out, and the second was because I had a hysterectomy in January, and was having a lot of problems hormonally come practise time. Lets just say they didn't have me on the right meds, and crying became a new sport for me. I was the champ. The other time I missed was two years ago when I decided to go to N.Y. instead.
Last year, I unexpectedly stold the show. I was suppose to be just an extra in between the acts, posing as an accident prone camera person, not saying or doing anything in any of the numbers. What can I say, my antics and facial expressions had the entire audiance in stitches. Can you all tell that I am pretty proud of this.
Who would have thought, that way back then, when the lady where I worked dared me to go out for the show, would have led to all this? I wish she could see me now. She honestly did not think I could get on stage and perform, but little did she know, that is the life I live for. LOL

((((((((((((((((((((BREN))))))))))))))))))

It is so wonderful to hear that all is well with you. I think it's great that your getting out there and participating in such a worthy cause and it brings you so much joy. A double treat. I'm glad that you have decided to come back and share with us.
Thank you.

sounds like to me, that you should check out the library theater and be onstage more than once a year!! Yea, for you!!!!!!!xoxoxo, pat

What is the library theater? I have never heard of it. Although it is super fun and theraputic for me, it is also very time consuming and exhausting. Once a year is really all I can handle at this time. I do other charity things...like Relay for life, and stuff, so it is hard for me to do any more than I do now.

Great to hear Bren. Keep it up.
