I am so fortunate that I am able to travel from time to time to places of exotic beauty.
I just returned from 10 days in Florida with my dear husband Joe. We went to two Barrage concerts to witness our son Tim and the amazing young musicians that he works with. Barage travels the entire world astounding people everywhere with their talent. It did my heart good as a mother and as a musician to see such excellence.
We did a circle from Miami north to Stuart and then a cross the penninsula to Ft. Myers. Then southward to Everglade City and finally down to the southern tip at Flamingo!
We saw palms and beaches, alligators and croocodiles, Ibis and Roseate Spoonbills, extreme poverty and extreme luxury. We heard an alligator roar its mating call and the blue sky fill with enormous pink Spoonbills. We watched an Osprey catch a fish and peeked at two baby Barred Owls peeking at us.
When I was young with a young family we didn't have the money for far away exotic trips and now that I am almost retired I am determined to get out and see as much of this amazing world as I can on a shoestring!! I think the birds and beaches look just as beautiful after staying at a basic inexpensive motel. That suits me...
The memories and photos that I am accumulating will tide me over nicely when I am finally religated to a rocking chair!!
I am trying to be as pro-active as I can about creating performance opportunities and travel opportunities. I am visualizing combining the two. I can see me travelling to exotic places doing my music. The bonus in my career is that the bass player in my band and my travel companion is my husband Joe.
If I keep putting one foot in front of the other I will eventually get somewhere. I don't know exactly where that will be but I do believe that it will be somewhere wonderful!!!
