Silver Chord hit the ground running in January. Three shows in two months – and several new songs as well. We lost one rehearsal day at the beginning of February but like the troopers we are, we sang wonderfully in spite of it. More spring shows are on our calendar so we hope to see you at some of them.
- Wave at kids on school buses.Learn three clean jokes.Don't be afraid to say "I made a mistake."Say "thank-you" a lot.Never underestimate the power of love.Floss your teeth.Keep your promises (no matter what).Always accept an outstretched hand.Keep secrets.Over tip breakfast waitresses.Never waste an opportunity to tell someone you love them.Have a dog.Plant a tree on your birthday.Sing in the shower.Have a firm handshake.Watch a sunrise at least once a year.Think big thoughts but relish small pleasures.Take responsibility for every area of your life.Use the good silver.Don't be afraid to say "I don't know."Ask for a raise when you feel you've earned it.Buy whatever kids are selling on card tables in their front yards.Say "please" a lot.Make new friends but cherish the old ones.Never refuse homemade brownies.Carry jumper cables in your trunk.Dance like no-one is watching. Sing like no-one is listening. Love like you've never been hurt.Count your blessings.Treat everyone you meet like you want to be treated.Plant flowers every spring.Strive for excellence, not for perfection.Feed a stranger's expired parking meter.Don't expect life to be fair.Marry only for love.Send lots of Valentines Day cards and sign them "Someone who thinks you're terrific."Compliment even small improvements.Wear polished shoes.Leave the toilet seat in the down position.Drink champagne for no reason at all.Stop blaming others.Call your mother.Become the most positive and enthusiastic person you know.Remember other people's birthdays.Rekindle old friendships.Be the first to say hello.Sing in a choir.Return borrowed vehicles with the gas tank filled.be there when people need you.Be forgiving of yourself and others.Commit yourself to constant improvement.Compliment three people everyday.Live your life as an exclamation, not an explanation.Return all things you borrow.Look people in the eye.Leave everything a little better than you found it.Keep it simple.Avoid negative people.
