Ilai is a sensitive,aesthetic,considerate child who is unfailingly a pleasure to be with. I was so proud of him! The entire evening,given by the Conservatory of Music for parents and grandparents,was a delight,presnting a wide range of young musicians playing on musical instruments from harps and trombones down to hand clapping on feet and plastic bins! I felt a sense of wonderment,and fervently wish that NO ONE EVER will think of eliminating these darling souls May they never use violence and never have to suffer from it.

In general, feelings come and go. We took our grandchildren and children,by now middle aged,to see the british musical "Mamma Mia" . Based on the songs of the Abba group,the show is very colourful,humorous,slick and a sure crowd pleaser. We all enjoyed it,save for one seventeen year old who is too serious for such frivolous fare. It failed to take my breath away,but I did forget my troubles,at least temporarily. Hope your mood has improved. In general, feelings come and go.

My youngest grandson, Ilai, will be singing in a choir at a prestigious centre for the arts this week. If that doesn't blow my breath away,nothing will.

Willy Wonka and The Chocolate Factory Soundtrack Lyrics
Come with me, And you’ll be
In a world of Pure imagination
Take a look And you’ll see
Into your imagination

We’ll begin, With a spin
Traveling in The world of my creation
What we’ll see, Will defy Explanation

If you want to view paradise
Simply look around and view it
Anything you want to, do it
Wanta change the world?
There’s nothing To it

There is no Life I know
To compare with Pure imagination
Living there You’ll be free
If you truly wish to be

If you want to view paradise
Simply look around and view it
Anything you want to, do it
Wanta change the world?
There’s nothing
To it

There is no Life I know
To compare with Pure imagination
Living there You’ll be free
If you truly Wish to be

If the phone rings, think of it as carrying a message Larger than anything you’ve ever heard, Vaster than a hundred lines of Yeats. Think that someone may bring a bear to your door, Maybe wounded and deranged; or think that a moose Has risen out of the lake, and he’s carrying on his antlers A child of your own whom you’ve never seen. When someone knocks on the door, think that he’s about To give you something large: tell you you’re forgiven, Or that it’s not necessary to work all the time, or that it’s Been decided that if you lie down no one will die. by Robert Bly not by me Things to Think
Think in ways you’ve never thought before.
If the phone rings, think of it as carrying a message
Larger than anything you’ve ever heard,
Vaster than a hundred lines of Yeats.

Think that someone may bring a bear to your door,
Maybe wounded and deranged; or think that a moose
Has risen out of the lake, and he’s carrying on his antlers
A child of your own whom you’ve never seen.

When someone knocks on the door, think that he’s about
To give you something large: tell you you’re forgiven,
Or that it’s not necessary to work all the time, or that it’s
Been decided that if you lie down no one will die.

No matter how hard we try, we can't just look away and pretend Liban is fine when it's not. And under such circumstances, even the best thing in life seems tasteless.... I agree with sonia.
