Cirque Eloize Nebbia: The Magic Fog


Last week I went to Cirque Eloize's Nebbia: The Magic Fog. WOW! It is so amazing what people can do with their bodies. Ok, so really fit, well trained, muscular people can do with their bodies. :) A few years ago I went to a production called "Rain." It was so much fun! At the end it actually rained on the stage and the performers played in it. I left the production feeling absolutely joyful. I wanted to see it again. When I got the tickets for Cirqure Eloize, I didn't realize it was the same production company. I was so excited when one of the guys, that I recognized from Rain, came out on the stage. They kind of create a story, theme, or idea. I'm not exactly sure what this one was, but it was still very entertaining and amazing to watch. They sprinkle in a lot of humor and just make the show so enjoyable. It totally made me want to see Rain again. :)

Gratitude and Choices

The other day I spoke with a friend who has chosen to live in a way she knows is not good for her and has very serious consequences. I have chosen to live my life a certain way and sometimes it seems like a burden or that I'm not having as much fun. Talking to my friend and reflecting on her choices really made me grateful for the choices I have made in the way I live my life. It may not always seem like I am having as much fun or experiencing everything, but I can be at peace within myself knowing that I am happy and am very blessed.

Those shows sound amazing!

i know what you mean about choices and realizing that though you may be missing out on some experiences, it is actually a blessing. I feel this way at times, especially around my family, but I also see some of the consequences and realize I am happy with the choices I have made.
