Miracles

One day I was playing the old upright piano at the Penthouse level. My friend the Lifestyle Manager heard me and said ,"My that is nice. Would you play fro our birthdays and teas?"

I said that I would be honored. I had learned to play poppular songs, classical music,Christmas songs and a variety of tunes. Well I played for the birthdays and teas to a packed audience.

I had studied piano when I was young and deccided to teach myself songs as a senior. The seniors looked forward to me playing the piano. My father would clap everytime I played the piano.A friend of ours had photographed me at the piano with my learned father. I have that on the wall of my apartment.

One day an entertainer was performing and I asked her would she mind if I sang the Elvis Presley song, "Wiseman say." She consented to me performing. I sang the song without rehearsing to the friends in the dinning-hall.They applauded with appreciation. I had studied at the Royal Conservatory of Music before I retired.I had dreeamed of becoming a performer.

I had gone on to perform with the church choir in Lorne Park. We has a gold choir gown and a blue jay blue choir gown.I went onto to perform with a folk group. I was a back-up singer at another church. I had a variety of experiences. They are all miracles.I don's sing much anymore but for awhile that was an enhanced experience.My miracles as a senior. all you have to do is believe.
