Music and Silence

No trumpets sound when the important decisions of our life are made.  Destiny is made known silently.  
- Agnes De Mille

Someone posted a status recently that made me giggle: "The problem with real life is there is no danger music." True.  There is no music warning us when we are making the wrong decision and there is no swelling of an orchestra when we do something triumphant.  Of course, in my twisted imagination I hear screeching violins when I'm on dark streets and I hear angels sing when something goes right.  But that is mostly because I like musicals.  Anyway, the above quote stood out to me because lately I've been feeling like I have a quiet determination fueling me.  I have certain goals I want to reach by the end of this year and I'm doing what I can to make them a reality.  I'm slowly starting to tell people what these goals are, almost as a way to be held accountable.  I said I was going to do x, y and z - so I will.  But for the most part, I'm holding them close and chipping away as I can.  As they happen, I'll start singing about them.  In other news, I'm thinking about doing some painting this weekend - pictures to be posted.  Enjoy your weekend!
