Tuesdays - What Entertains You?


By nature I am a person who requires creativity in my life.    Each day I put time aside to meditate – be still – and observe.  Once I am done, on with the day I go. I like to keep myself moving physically and creatively. This treatment doesn’t necessarily support this.  Majority of days I am physically drained. I see what the health care providers refer to as the emotional and mental spiral that can accompany this treatment. 

At the first sign of throwing a personal ‘pity party’, I need to pull out the ‘big guns’… entertainment!

In 2010 I watched the 52nd Grammy Awards on CBS.  I generally skip through the acts I don’t particularly follow.  My attention is on the artists that I have connected to through years of listening to their music;  purchasing their CDs; and attending their live performances.  And I love it!

I am not a Pink fan but when this woman came on stage to perform at the 2010 Grammy’s she literally lit the venue up. Her performance grasped the attention of the audience. I became fully invested in that brief moment. 

I watched and listened to her perform her song “Glitter In the Air” while she gracefully moved above the audience from a set of silks.  It remains the most artistic piece of art I have witnessed. 

Oprah interviewed Pink soon after to discuss the buzz generated after her performance that night.  It was an enlightening interview and I am now a Pink fan. 

So when I feel myself beginning to enter the slippery slope of the ‘pity party’ I tune into YouTube and bring a little glitter into my life.  It puts me in a good place. Enjoy!
