Today started out like an ordinary day. For one thing, I was in deep thought most of this morning, before school. I was thinking about publishing one of my stories, and imagining what it would be like if it was ever made into a movie. This led me to also thinking about the fact that I believe anything is possible.
Scarcely 20 minutes later we get an email from the orchestra; which I played in for almost 6 years, up until recently, when we had to quit due to a schedule conflict. The email said that the concertmaster was sick, the orchestra had an important gig coming up this very evening, and would/could Emiko and I (formerly 2nd/assistant concertmaster) come and perform with them?
So it was one of those random but cool moments (like the day we bought our big vacuum cleaner, but that's another story). I was actually nervous today, because I hadn't seen all of the music; but Emiko and I, feeling somewhat encouraged by my Sherlockian concert attire, went and did our best, and it was really fun. One of the pieces we got to play was a few movements from Ballet Parisienne by Offenbach, which we had played before and was one of my faves.
So yeah, a random day, but it was fun, and definitely emphasized my thoughts from this morning.
Sometimes things do happen like they do in books!
