Please Grant Me an Ego Moment

[mrdreamjeans]

Occasionally, there is a day when there's extra incentive to be alive and kicking, not just getting through the day as best we can. Yesterday was one of those days for me.

Tim got home safely after a wonderful visit here in NYC; it was Fernando's (bearchitect) birthday; our director/choreographer Larry Fuller treated a couple of us from previous tours of "Evita" to dinner at a wonderful Italian restaurant and best of all, I got a compliment that will forever remain etched in my memory and heart.

I was sitting out in the house of the theatre during a break in the run-through yesterday, just reading the paper and resting, when Larry came up behind me, leaned in over my shoulder and whispered to me, "For what it's worth... Hal just told me he thinks you're simply terrific."

Well, it's worth a lot, Larry....to think that Hal Prince even noticed my work. Like I said, there are some days when it's good to be alive! So, please grant me an "ego moment". They don't come my way that often and it feels good... and inspiring.... I'm pumped now to work even harder!

Bravo!

Relish the 'ego moment'... it is well deserved.

Yes, my dear friend, do relish in the moment.

Bravo, and to quote the Muffin Man, Go you!

A well deserved ego moment.

But of course, you're excellent at this show!

Very very cool

Dearheart,

This does not qualify as ground-breaking news: We've ALL known you're "simply terrific"! You always HAVE been!

That said, there's nothing like hearing it from someone you admire.

Now, enjoy your moment; the Bright Lady knows you'll stumble over something to bring you back down to earth soon enough.

Huggles!!

well, where do you think that puts me! I'm now in the company of Hal Prince's compliments as one of the things that put a zing in your step, I'm honored.
Of course, we all know how fantabulously illuminating your presence is...

Goodnight and THANK YOU HAL!!!

Neil, that is so cool!!! I will allow this ego moment and any other you may want in the future for you, for you deserve this and any others that come. As all the others have said, I could have told you that you're "simply terrific" already... but that's about you as a person. This is about your craft, and from a respected person in the field of your business to say that... well, WOW! That is the best kind of motivation. Enjoy this moment, and any other that comes.

A Collective Thank You!

As Keith said, "Goodnight and Thank You!" Gentlemen! I am humbled by your collective good-will.... Hell - that sounds fussy, but your unexpected, kind words really warm my heart. I'm really tired tonight; tomorrow's the gypsy run-through for an invited audience and we worked very hard today. Plus, it's kind of quiet with Tim (gotmoof) gone, so there's nothing to focus on but work and try to recharge for tomorrow. Thanks for being such a wonderful support network and for understanding what this project means to me. All of you rock! Hugs!
