A POSITIVE EVENT!

Good Morning. This is typically a very busy week for most of you, so I'll keep this short. I have been unusually quiet and felt that at least a partial explanation was in order.

The approaching festive holidays are a particularly vulnerable time for many of us. Without question, we are all facing challenges on so many fronts. Life today moves at a blinding pace. We are being overwhelmed with so much negative press on a daily basis. None of this is good for anyone wishing to embrace a healthy attitude and a kind demeanor toward others. I've been trying very hard to isolate just one Positive event to Blog about that would bring each of us some Hope. A good friend of mine e-mailed me about this surprise performance that was captured on camera early on the morning of March 23, 2009 at the Antwerp Central Railway Station in Belgium.

For 14 years now, we've been missing the singing voice of actress Julie Andrews following throat surgery. Thankfully, Julie will be returning to the stage at O2 Arena in London in May, 2010. In a cleverly organized fashion, and with only two rehearsals bemused passengers are gripped with amazement as Julie's recording of Rodgers & Hammerstein's "Do-Re-Mi" (from the 1965 musical "The Sound of Music") was played over the public address system with some sparse overdubbing and help from 200 dancers. For me, the facial expressions of the passengers alone are worth watching this video! There is Hope for a brighter tomorrow, and it's never too late!
