Note To Self:
This is Important. Pay.Attention and Don’t.Forget!
You actually said this to SB this morning after church:
“You know, I’ve done my fair share of musical theater in my life. But this little La Boheme gig is an important reminder that I don’t really want it in my life anymore. It’s just too much. I mean if you’re really on a production, your life is like this for 10-12 weeks! I just don’t think I want that anymore. I like my simpler life.”
Did you hear that??
“I like my simpler life.”
and
“I don’t want this [theater] in my life anymore.”
This came out of your subconscious. It just fell out of your mouth. You know that that indicates, given the situation and the topic a Profound Truth of Your Life.
It really seems like so much of your past life is circling back for you to take another taste and see if it’s really really really what you want to have on your plate for the next phase.
Please note, that musical theater, opera, etc. is NOT on the list even though you’re good at it and enjoy doing it. This is the same as not wanting to be a chaplain just because you have some gifts for that. The idea that you don’t have to do everything includes this.
OK. That is all.
Return to whatever you were doing.

Perhaps you are a bit overwhelmed right now. Give yourself a break. Musical theater is a huge responsibility. Whatever you decide, stick by it and don’t second guess yourself.

I don’t know how you do it and find time for the boys’ things and make alone time for yourself and work and eat and sleep. I can’t get all that done without doing musical theater.

I’m all for simplification.
I completely FORGOT what I was doing. Shoot.
