Happy Thanksgiving and a Concert

          Hi all,

Yes, I know that Thanksgiving is actually on Monday but since I write on Sundays and it's only a day before, I figure I'd still write about Thanksgiving for this day's post.

Don't forget to be thankful for things that you may take for granted. For example, be thankful that you have working legs and arms, you can have water whenever you want from your own home, or that you have an education. But don't just list everything you're thankful for on Monday, try listing at least 3 little things you're grateful for everyday. I'm trying to do that everyday, and write down the things I was grateful for in a journal of mine that I keep and write in. Doing that is very beneficial because it will make you happy and have a positive outlook on your life.
Spend time with your family. Maybe you have a tradition that you do every year, like a game or something. Maybe the way you spend time with them is just doing your own thing in the same room as them, and you all gather for the turkey at dinner. Also, you might want to have a little time hanging with your friends, because aren't they also people you're thankful for? On Thanksgiving, try giving more than taking.

Now, as it says in the title, I will be speaking to you about a concert that I just recently went to. I went to go see an orchestra live this Friday with my sister. The concert we went to was Disney's Fantaisia: Live in Concert. Wow... what an experience. The feeling you get when you look at all the musicians playing their instruments in person. It's already nice to hear when you listen to a piece on the Internet, or on TV, but once you listen to it and see it in person, now that is a whole new thing and it is incomparable. If you have never seen an orchestra live, you have to. It will be such a memorable event and you will have a deep interest in music, like I did. You know, ever since... say when I was about in grade six, I've always wanted to learn to play the cello. And during the concert, I was always trying to watch the cellists play. They looked so "cool" playing it! In all, it was AWESOME.

This day's post is shortly written because I had a lot of work to do this week and I still do have a lot of work this weekend. But I hope you all have a happy Thanksgiving!

Keep Smiling,
