Blogging is most revealing of one's thoughts and perceptions. Fear of acceptance looms, but confidence sets in, although rather late.
Both the fear of acceptance and the resulting confidence carries over into being an online student, where there is no need to meet anyone face-to-face for any reason. Self-direction is a must, otherwise one might as well renounce Kaplan-ism, and maybe become a phoenix. The flexibility of the online environment has proven to depend on natural disasters, and a post dedicated to this topic lurks in the back-burner of my mind while I struggle with emotions linked to recent natural disasters.
Being part of a blog-o-sphere is a self-induced limiting experience. For now, my followers are school mates, who are, by default, held at arm's length. One day, I will feel free to share this log of my inmost feelings with my family and friends. Might it seem odd my nervousness stems from lack of confidence in writing style versus content? Until I feel my typed words invoke as much feeling and guided reaction as my piano notes, this blog will remain caged. Locked up in a unit assignment.

Musical Encouragement
Soon and very soon we are going to see the King.
No more crying there. We are going to see the King!
No more dying there. We are going to see the King!
Hallelujah! Hallelujah! We are going to see the King!
Ua latalata mai, lou Alii e Faaola. Alleluia!
These are words to a chorus that, as a musician, inspire encouragement during this time of loss. My family and country of Samoa and American Samoa are still recovering from the effects of the earthquake and tsunami on September 29, 2009. Haiti just had a fatal earthquake, as well. More of my friends' family members have passed away, and still more are contracting food-related diseases, while others die of hereditary-initiated illnesses.
But even in times of loss and pain, my heavenly Father promises heaven. In this, I have hope that relieves suffering, and helps me to keep on keeping on. Otherwise, depression would reign... Thank goodness for musical therapy!
Hallelujah! We are going to see the King!

hmmm...
No man [or woman :)] is an island.
Symposiums are generally inclusive of more than one person, so to accommodate this, I invite you to post comments. Also, I will post up quotes, besides my thoughts.
Meantime, week 1 of 2010 is ending off productively :)
So to you all, "Beloved, I wish above all things that thou mayest prosper and be in health, even as thy soul prospereth." 3 Jn. 1:2
HAPPY NEW YEAR!
