Open a New Window

So, how did I name this blog what's the deal-ie-o!

In high school I was in the chorus in the musical Mame. I didn't have a named part or speaking role, but I had the most fun of my life!!!! I met a guy and fell in love.......................well in love for someone in high school!!

But truly the words to the musical or maybe just the idea of Mame have stuck with me since. The song "Open a New Window" is how I want to live my life. I want to look for the extra. I want to experience the more. I know you can't make the bubbles stay, you have to make new ones.

Mom has a plaque on her wall, well I don't know if she still has it since they have moved, but it says:
Whenever God closes a door he opens a window.

I think something like that anyway. I guess my point is that there has got to be more than one way to do something and there is always hope.

Lately, my life has been well topsy-turvy. But I am learning to find new ways to be happy. I am opening my mind to possibilities that I can be happy, just not the American Dream way.

Mame was a Yankee that learned how to make the Southerners like her. I want to be able to use my own laughter and enthusiasm to charm others and help spread happiness, too. She made the cotton easy to pick. And according to my Grandmother that is no small feat!!

I want to Give the World's Mint Julep a Kick!! I want to travel a new highway and Open a new window EVERYDAY!!!!!
