A Beautiful DaySubmitted by Sandy on Tue, 03/04/2008 - 1:51am.
Unfortunately due to time constraints, I was not able to fully live a beautiful day as I would really like. This would entail a hike in the forest with a couple of friends. We would go to someplace like Staircase, only I would choose a place to go that I haven’t been before. Anyone have any suggestions on a good place to go? We would take a picnic lunch and sit by the river and watch its currents. We would smell the fresh air and look at the beautiful, tall evergreens. We would come back and I would fix them a chicken cordon bleu dinner, because I love to cook for company. Afterwards, we would put together a puzzle.Right now, if I am not at class or work, I am at my internship site. There is a light at the end of the tunnel, but for now, I don’t have a lot of free time. I was happy to see the BYU dancers were coming to the Olympia Center for the Performing Arts. Instead of crashing after a day at internship, I made arrangements to go to the performance, and meet a friend there. You can’t tell by looking at me now, but I used to be a dancer. I did jazz, modern, tap, toe ballet, and exhibition ballroom dancing, with the long flowing dresses and being lifted and spun above my partner’s head. Now that my knees are damaged, I can’t do any of the moves like I used to, but I love to watch others dance. The BYU dancers travel all over the world and are extremely accomplished. Every chance I get to see them, I am amazed at their creativity, athleticism, and beautiful costumes. It brings back great memories. I was able to find a good parking place. I enjoyed being with my friend, and we ran into quite a few other people that we knew. I had forgotten how much I enjoy plays and live performances, and I will watch out for other events to attend. I missed the Taibo Drummers at The SPSCC Minnaert Center for the Performing Arts, but there are some interesting looking performances in the future. I also do plan on doing some hiking and camping this summer, because I am actually taking this summer off from school after I graduate!
