The rare event of a total solar eclipse exclusive to the US traversing a path across our country
united many Americans as we all looked
up in amazement at this cosmic spectacle. We all had a little "eclipse fever",
or at least I did, and why not, a continuous eclipse in the US has not
happened since 1976 and one exclusive to the US since 1776. Americans everywhere saw various versions of the moon blocking the light of the sun and
those in the direct path saw day turn into night. It was a moment where we
realized how small we are, a speck on this
planet that is just a speck in the universe!
A way to survive the empty nest and a "cracked "relationship with a fun daily challenge of new experiences, reflections, sources, and some biblical guidance. I hope this blog which offers a fun journey to survive by trying something new, either vicariously or by doing, will result in a survival tool kit to replace the past familiar doing, giving, and/or incorporating the interest of your child or your long gone love interest, with some new self interest(s).

Day 231 Million Dollar Quartet-Pittsburgh CLO- peak experience of music from the soul
Martin Kaye (Lewis), Billy Finn (Perkins), Derek Keeling (Cash) James Snyder (Presley) |
Self-actualization or reaching one’s personal best according to my blog inspiration psychologist, Maslow, is measured by “peak experiences”
of the world. With a peak experience “there are feelings of euphoria, joy and
wonder”(see simple psychology). A peak musical experience is what happens in Million Dollar Quartet, a show about a single
jam session with four rock and roll/country legends, Johnny Cash, Jerry Lee Lewis, Carl Perkins
and Elvis Presley in 1956. This show dramatizes
the historical one time musical moment that took place at Sun Record Studios in Memphis, Tennessee and was latter known as “The Million Dollar Quartet”. This play captures the intensity and feeling of the music that came from the artists’ soul.
