Rosemary's Blessing

May God grant you the strength and faith to

Count your blessings, not your crosses;
Count your gains not your losses.
Count your joys not your woes;
Count your friends not your foes.
Count your smiles not your tears;
Count your courage not your fears.
Count your health not your wealth;
And love your neighbor as much as yourself.

 1.  December 3, Friday, 8:00 P.M.: Dallas Symphony Pops Christmas concert (special for kids) at the Meyerson.  Tickets in the Choral Terrace (behind & above the stage & orchestra), $33.00.

 

  2.  December 14, Tuesday, 8:00 P.M.: Dallas Symphony Christmas Pageant (a platinum event) at the Meyerson. Tickets on the Orchestra Floor (like last year) $55.00.
