Day 2 - 257 -- Moving along Life's Highway

A special day that was filled with many activities, which included classes and meetings of this time of year, greetings from friends and family, wonderful carrot cake with co-workers. the day was topped off with the annual President's reception (first time falling on the birthday) and a very fun dinner with friends. All in all a very memorable and enjoyable day.

Each year celebrating this day remains important to me. Numbers are just numbers. It is how one feels inside that really counts. That is what keeps people active and positive. Taking time to try new things, continue learning new things and working to keep from stagnating -- in short, finding the joys in life. I've noticed that the amount of platinum blonde is increasing -- but the colour is pleasant and there are hard knocks and hard work associated with each of those grey hairs. Learning to live with grey can help us feel more comfortable in the way the world works -- black and white may seem easier, but most of life is lived in the grey zone in between the two anchor points on that continuum. Accepting this concept may lead to greater satisfaction with life.

The song for today deals with the grey zone and is sung by a fellow often highlighted in this blog -- another of those keyboardists -- pianist in this case. Enjoy!
