The Arts

Namely, Michael Buble.

Tonight Zac and I went to see Michael Buble in concert in St. Paul. It was amazing! The night was full of great music, and I don't mean it was great music because I liked it, but I mean it was exceptional music performed by very talented musicians.

I sometimes forget how inspiring it is to be around the arts. Throughout the concert, I felt myself moved to make my life less ordinary and more special. Michael was having such a fun time performing - it was evident in each moment of the concert. I want to carry that joy with me, and recognize not only which parts of my life currently contain that joy, but also which parts of my life need a little more of that joy.

How can I make the mundane things in my life more beautiful? What could I do to jazz up even the most ordinary things, like laundry day? Should I turn up my favorite tunes and do a little salsa step as I put the clothes in the washing machine? Should I buy some flowers for the table, just because? Should I slow down a little and smile more often? Should I whistle or hum to myself as I walk through the grocery store?

I'll be on the lookout today. I hope you will too. Let me know what you come up with!
