Groovin'... on a Sunday Afternoon...

Ok first of all, apologies for yesterday's post. It was totally scrambled and not well-thought out at all. It was really difficult to get my thoughts organized before putting them out there seeing as how I was seriously falling asleep as I typed, THAT's how tired I was. lol.

But today is a brand new, beautiful day (well, it's not really brand new, it's already 4:30 pm) and I'm sitting in the front porch enjoying some CRAZY BEAUTIFUL weather. Dude, if it wasn't for rainy season, I'd say this is the most perfect weather to live in year-round. It's sunny and bright with a cool breeze coming in from the shore... it feels soooo good. I could never complain about the weather here. It's lie-in-a-hammock-all-day type of weather. Which reminds me, anyone wanna mail me a hammock? I can't find any here! grrrr.

It's pretty rare for me to have free Sunday afternoons, so when I do have them, I try to enjoy them to the fullest. Most Sundays I spend at some church participating in some sort of musical program. Most sacred concerts here are on Sunday afternoon instead of Sabbath afternoon... I have a feeling that I'm actually supposed to be at some church this very instant playing/singing beautiful hymns and praising the Lord and all that, but you see, as I mentioned previously, my phone was stolen. What does that have to do with anything, you ask? Well, my phone was not only a phone in its own sense, but also my planner. I saved all my to-do's, memos, and whatnots in that phone. Now that it's gone, I have NO idea what I'm supposed to be doing today, and most of my contacts from churches around the city don't know that I don't have my phone anymore. So if I'm supposed to be somewhere right now, the people I made the committment with are probably calling my phone like crazy wondering where in the world I am. Little do they know, my little Nokia is happily traipsing around Johannesburg somewhere. And me? I'm just here, happily typing away, ignoring the nagging feeling that I'm standing someone up and trying to enjoy this false sense of freedom.

This morning was session 2 of the music classes at my church. Things are going well, the students are really eager to learn. We had our first orchestra practice today. It consisted of the orchestra members sitting in the proper semi-circle formation, facing the conductor (me), paying attention to every word I said. Oh, and also, noone had any instruments... lol. It's so cute how we call ourselves an orchestra when it's just people sitting on chairs. Hey, we're just keeping our eyes on the ball, visualizing our goals. We'll get there someday.

I just hope someday is sooner than it seems at the moment :)
