Broadway Shows & Season Changes: What are you excited about?
I just went to two broadway shows in the last few weeks: Call Me Izzy and John Proctor is the Villain. I love to arrive at shows a little early so I can sit in my seat and look around. These theatres are so beautiful. The walls, the ceilings, the lighting. Each theatre has its own personality. I sat in the fourth row for the first show and I was in the very last row for the second show. Either way there is nothing like the feeling you get when the lights go down and the show is about to start. The excitement is palpable.
It reminds me a bit of how I am feeling now as the weather shifts. Kids return to school. Energy returns to the neighborhood. The air begins to cool and farmers’ markets are overflowing with bounty (isn’t that picture of the tomatoes exquisite?). After the lack of routine of summer, we enter into a more predictable time and prepare for upcoming holidays.
It is a time of anticipation. What is to come?
Some things I am excited for this fall are:
class schedule. You can check it out here.
Visiting my son at Pitt and going to a college football game
Important November elections. Check out your November elections here.
Baking apple cake and pumpkin bread and drinking hot chai lattes
New seasons of shows returning this fall including The Diplomat and Only Murders in the Building
Taking walks in cooler weather
New books coming out in the Fall on lists like this one
My Dad’s second Bar Mitzvah at age 83 in October (more on that to come in a future newsletter)
The next time you feel a moment of excitement, tap into that feeling. Savor it and let it last for as long as you can. Acknowledge the beauty, the optimism and the hopefulness.
This excitement and anticipation is a gift. What are you excited for this fall?
