Personal Glimpses

Busy, fun, busy, fun!

Sunday a young friend, Christina Coats and I, attended Ragamala. Asian dance from ancient temple to modern from southern India. The dancers were of Indian, Korean, Cuban, Caucasian descent. Their feet soles and toes were dyed red (not permanent) as was the end 1/3 of their fingers and thumbs to enable hand and feet movements to be more visible. Dance was an expression of joy. After the performance there was a question-answer period and a reception. If you google Ragamala, more information will come up on this Minneapolis based group.

Monday I attended our older single adults Family Home Evening group. We have a good time for 1 1/2 hours. It includes a hymn, the pledge of Allegiance to the flag, a spiritual thought, a lesson, an activity and refreshments. Our lesson was how merriment is healthy and aids healing. The activity was 20 questions (we love that game!). The couple who are the hosts and our group advisors are witty and former singles themselves. About 6 or more attend (not counting our host couple.) Each of us volunteers for a different part each week providing great variety.
