A Beautiful Day

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!
