HARMONY @ RTC, DARING GREATLY

HARMONY @ RTC - I am part of a group of ragamuffins that meet at Round the Clock every week, usually at 6am.  Often Bud, Steve and Jeff will break into song (for no reason) and most of the nearby patrons enjoy the entertainment. (I think). 

Anyway, while at the YMCA today I watched Billy Joel and Jimmy Fallon form an impromptu doo-wop using an ipad app called "looper."  It reminded me of Friday mornings, and actually I don't think Billy and Jimmy did as well as our Ragamuffins. 

For those in the York, PA area, Bud, Steve and Jeff will be performing the same song (The Lion Sleeps Tonight) on Friday, March 28th at Round the Clock restaurant.  Click HERE to view Billy and Jimmy's rendition - or just come to the restaurant next Friday to hear the improved version. 

DARING GREATLY - "It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better.  The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; .... who at best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement and who at worst, it he fails, at least fails while daring greatly."

This quote is from an audible book I was listening to today.  Written by Brene' Brown, who believes in the power of owning our stories, and who recognizes that vulnerability is our most accurate measure of courage. Really interesting book.  Thanks to my brother and sister in law for the audible credit.
