Seasons of Love

I have been touched recently by the outpouring of concern since my accident. It has made me value even more all those who are compassionate, empathetic and loving. To those whom I love and have loved who are no longer here and even more importantly to those who have loved me I dedicate the following song:

Seasons of Love

by the late, great

Jonathan Larson

from his musical "Rent"

525,600 minutes

525,000 moments so dear

525, 600 minutes

How do you measure,

measure a year?

In daylight,

In sunsets,

In midnights,

In cups of coffee?

In inches,

In miles,

In laughter,

In strife?

In 525,600 minutes.

How do you measure a year in the life?

How about love?

How about love?

How about love?

Measure in love.

Seasons of love (round like echo of other singers-love)

Seasons of love (round like echo of other singers-love)

525,600 minutes

525,000 journeys to plan

525,600 minutes

How do you measure

the life of a woman or a man?

In truth that she learned?

Or in times that he cried?

In bridges he burned?

Or the way that she died?

It's time now

to sing out !

Though the story never ends.

Let's celebrate

Remember

a year in the life of friends!

(Group) Remember the love

(Solo singer simultaneously)Oh you've got to, you've got to remember LOVE

Love

You know that love is a gift from up above

Love

Share love, give love, spread love

Love

Measure, measure your life in love

Seasons of love

Seasons of love (round like echo of other singers-love)

Measure, measure your life in love

OH~~~~~Thank you for giving me something to measure!!!;-)

Couch Jumping is Hazardous to Your Health

So yeah, we all know that I'm a klutz! On Monday, August 28, 2006 I was doing my best to be a true actress!! All those times someone said, "Break a leg!" I'd respond, "I probably will."

OK WORSE than broken leg is torn ligaments. Bones heal faster but unfortunately, ligaments take much longer. I know because now I have to wait for my left ankle to heal from a fall that occurred during a rehearsal. I had a jump onto a couch and then over the back of it as I was "getting away" from another cast member. I did the jumps fine four times or so in a row. The killer jump was with last fifteen minutes to go and the director being nice tome said, "Let's do Christina's entrance one more time since she won't be here again until Friday."

I jumped up fine. However, the over was not so hot. My knee went one way and my ankle another. I even passed out for a little bit. The cast and crew were phenomenal. I couldn't have got to my car without their assistance and their concern buoyed me through the pain.

I wouldn't have gone to hospital if it weren't for two very kind and generous souls living far from me. Thank you Paul and Shanda. Without your guilting me into going to the er I probably would be worse off than I am now!! I owe you both more than I can ever type.

In the end it's all fine. I will survive. I didn't even have to take pain pills. Of course the moral of this story is if you can cut something short and leave early because it's gone well up until then....LEAVE!!!! Do not tempt fate~~~OR THE COUCH GODS! Tee hee.

Hope everyone else out there in the big, bad world is not losing too many fights with furniture! Take care. Love, Moi
