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