I feel that your tag, and my finding that book in the library were conspiring together on me. :)<br /><br />webb- In a place I used to live, I had the opportunity to play with a community orchestra- a wonderful group of musicians who really loved what they were doing. These days I am a bit more geographically challenged, but I have plans to drive sixty miles one way on a Thursday night and join a Celtic jam- should be fun!<br /><br />Madcap- Yes I know, there just isn't space in my "not so big" house for all the nooks and crannies she suggests! I suspect her firm doesn't do affordable housing much... <br /><br />Troutbirder- Thank you for visiting! I hope to spend more time in your part of the state...as a matter of fact, I may be spending some time in Lanesboro next fall for some work related training. <br /><br />MojoMan- I had not seen "Bliss Hill Journal" until now- congratulations! Looking forward to hearing more about your piece of land.Debhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07879771115420282834noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10304963.post-31914246920534678662010-02-04T12:15:50.241-06:002010-02-04T12:15:50.241-06:00Another great thought-provoking post, Deb.
I thi...Another great thought-provoking post, Deb. <br /><br />I think one of the best things blogging has done for me is to lead me to quiet contemplation about the dreams of my youth and how important it can be to remember those dreams and act on them. (Before it's too late?) See my "Bliss Hill Journal" to see tangible results.<br /><br />We all know the story of the guy on his deathbed who said: "I only wish I'd spent more time at the office."MojoManhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11283343683800473324noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10304963.post-2644150018895537872010-02-02T05:32:21.171-06:002010-02-02T05:32:21.171-06:00Interesting blog with a great attitude.

It was excellent, but best of all every musician was there because s/he wanted to play. I suspect Naples is a bit more urban than where you live, but look around. I bet somewhere in your w i d e r area there is a group that would embrace you and your flute. Good luck!webbhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15168174623602308906noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10304963.post-65172721815057264762010-02-01T08:07:27.643-06:002010-02-01T08:07:27.643-06:00I'm so glad you responded to my tag Deb!

Thanks for sharing a part of your journey Deb. I am at a point in my life where I am looking at things like this too, and realizing that my life is whatever I choose to make it. I am still not sure what that will be, but at least I am on the path to wanting to reach out for more. Blessings to you, my musician friend.Jaynehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14057094040409159429noreply@blogger.com
