Day 199 – Newport BridgeFest

There is a festival in my town that lasts all week and has multiple events from morning through the evening, this Monday - Thursday. It’s called BridgeFest and it celebrates and honors music in many various ways. There are live concerts around town, movies that celebrate music (for instance, there is one on the life of Amy Winehouse – ps…I adored her from the moment she entered the scene and I still do even though her time here is gone). Anyhow, there are arts and crafts fairs, children’s activities and so much more. The week includes music from all genres including- classical, jazz, folk, punk, hip hop, rock and more.

For my intention today I decided to walk over and listen to a live concert on Bowen’s Wharf. My mom and I went over and listened to Ilana Katz Katz – a fiddler. It was nice. This isn’t the type of music I would just sit around listening to normally but for the time we were there it was fun, the scene made it also quite enjoyable. The wharf was crowded, the sun was shining bright and the ocean breeze was in the air. I thought to myself as we were standing there listening to the music how blessed I feel to be alive.

We met up with Vinny afterwards and we all went to the beach for about an hour or so. We walked and talked and enjoyed the beach, the sand, the breeze and the atmosphere. Afterwards we went out to eat to a local Italian bistro. Cheers to life- I hope you (all my readers) out there are loving your summer and taking full advantage of all the summer has to offer!  #lovesummer #HGAL
