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