Never jugde a day before it's over!

The art exhibition at the Mall where I work was not really treasured by the people in town. There were not many visitors and after some necessary decisions for orders that were well done together with my work-mate (we usually don't work together), she left for home early yesterday and I had today off. No need to work overtime if there's no work to do.

I made some nice gift baskets to feel at least useful, but my boss had even less to do beside his oven for "Flammkuchen" (kind of very thin pizza with ham, onions and cheese).

There wasn't even a chance to play my harp that was listening to a fantastic professional piano player with a huge range of every kind of music.

By 5 pm I put my harp back into it's case and was planning to go home early - but the universe had different plans:

The organiser of the exhibition invited my boss, his wife and me to the after-show party and asked me to bring my harp. With me we were about 18 persons, most of them the painters and sculptors.

While we were waiting for the food to be brought from a nearby restaurant, I unpacked my harp again and started playing without notice while everyone was talking - just for back-ground music. Bit by bit the talking stopped and everyone was listening. When I finished the song they all clapped hands! Wow - that felt fantastic!!! When I played on, some of the listeners even took out their cameras and took photos of my harp and me!!! I concentrated on playing and felt very special. After the buffett I played some more and then answered questions about the harp and explained the way it is played. Everybody was so nice that I nearly spilled over with happiness! My first performance - and a full success.

Although the day was rather unexciting - the evening made up for it. So never jugde a day before it's over!
