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!
