What if?

When the clouds lift, the sun shines with the blue sky. "What if it will be sunny one day?" she asked herself.  It had been a year of overcast skies.  Day and night, unable to see the moon and the stars, she hoped one day the clouds would clear and she could reconnect with the elements that she loved so dearly. She knew the sun was behind it all.  She knew that some day that sun would have to shine again, but she became so preoccupied by the idea that she forgot to live today.  She forgot to get out of bed, put her shoes on and go outside.  She forgot to eat and to comb her hair.  She forgot about her family and friends, because surely they were stuck in the clouds as well.

It's for this show I'm doing.  Producing, technically, and hosting, but a show that has been brewing in my brain ever since I got back from Nashville. It's amazing what professionals are able to do in a very short amount of time. My friend's mom was flying in from Calgary and she booked a date at the theatre which gave me exactly 3 1/2 weeks to put the show together.  We had been talking about it for many months, but I always postponed out of a lack of confidence.  So I thank her for lighting a fire under my arse and motivating me to do it. It's my first experience producing a show.  And thank god I'm surrounded by so many talented people, who also happen to have a very talented group of people surrounding them.  I just pictured a
