Today was a truly wonderful day.  I didn’t think it was going be so good at 3a.m. this morning when I woke up with a pounding headache and realized that I had to be at the clinic at 7a.m.  Nothing good ever comes from a headache in the middle of the night!

But my luck changed as the day went on.  A few things that made today memorable:  one of my cats who has a tumor in his sinuses ate on his own and expressed continued interest in life.  You have to realize that he has been battling this cancer since February and the fact that he is still living is a minor miracle.  I count my blessings when I think of him because he is so special.  He is my cat hero.

My father turns 85 years young tomorrow.  He had a medical test today and the doctor exclaimed that not only was my father healthy but that the doctor wishes his health would be so good at 85.  I count my blessings that he is my father.  He is my human hero.

Me and my Daddy

I continue to receive positive feedback for the presentation that Daniel Bernard Roumain and I gave at Sul Ross Middle School (San Antonio, TX) as well as the lectures I presented at UT Austin and the recital we gave for the 180 Group of Texas Public Radio, also in San Antonio.  These responses make me realize that I am actually doing something worthwhile with my music.

Last but certainly not least, I was able to chat today with a very special man who lives in Morocco. Talking with him makes me so happy. At the Sook

I wonder what tomorrow has in store for me?
