Taiko Drumming

I took some of my kids to a Nature In Mind Arts Festival today. There was one very neat number with Taiko Drums. It was a great experience to sit and listen to them play. There were probably 10 or so drummers and the sound was great. The drums are big and as my 6 year old pointed out as she covered her ears, very loud.
I did a quick Google on the internet to find out more about Taiko drum and found out they were used in Japan in war and in royal court and became a symbol of religion. Thank you Wikipedia.
What was interesting is that as I sat listening to these great and awesome drums, I was moved to tears. I welled up with emotion and cried, not a sad cry, but a hey there are things greater than you, and time to get to work on being better cry. It was humbling and inspiring at the same time. I greatly enjoyed the Taiko Drums.

I feel like writing

Well I have come to the self diagnosis that I have SAD. Seasonal Affect disorder or whatever its called. The sun is shining today and it looks like spring and it makes me so very happy. I feel confident and light. But being this is Alberta you know that when the sun shines in February it won't last for long. So make Hay while the sun shines.
The kids played outside today for 2 hours which for them is quite a feat. I can barely get them to go outside for 30 minutes.
The thermometer from my window says 12 C How great is that?
I also got the flyer done for my big Forum in May. On the 10th. For those of you Tjeders I organize a big forum like the one Dianne Jeppson does in Salt Lake city. It should be good and exciting this year.
