It’s a beautiful day!
There was a very heavy frost on the ground that clung as long as it
possibly could this morning!! The sun is
shining and it is just such a pretty day out there. I’m looking forward to hearing the birds
singing as I sit outside on the patio with my coffee or hot tea this spring. I also look forward to sitting on the porch
swing and doing my early afternoon work online while sipping my sweet tea and
listening to the neighborhood children as they ride their bikes and play
outside. Boy, I used to love riding my
bike when I was a kid. I remember how it
felt … it felt like freedom. That is the
best way to describe it. The breeze on
my face and flowing through my hair as I pedaled as fast as I could. I still ride a bike. I got a new one, used at a pawn shop, last
summer and I’m going to be riding it this year too!!
I was talking about this earlier this week. Do you ever catch yourself thinking about the
past? Life is full of the things we do
and the things that happen to us … people who are good to us and people who are
not … those who tear us down and those who lift us up … things we remember with
fondness and things that we regret.
It can be comforting and even bring a smile to our face when
we think about the past, our childhood, our grandparents, childhood friends,
fun things that we got to do and such.
Always think about those things that bring you joy and make you smile. Just don’t let yourself get wrapped up in the
bad or unpleasant things of the past.
By being stuck in that cycle of thinking about things that
were hurtful … remaining angry or hurt … this can allow the past to hold you
hostage so that you can’t move forward even when you want to. Find something
positive to think about and keep moving forward. There is nothing wrong with
trying again. When you fall … get back up and go again. When you stumble … find
your footing and keep going. Create a new path that leads to better you … a
positive you … grateful for your blessings. Focus on your blessings … hold your
head high … and smile. You’ve got this!!
At our house, one of our favorite things to do that brings
us joy is to sit down and play some tunes together! We’re working on new tunes all the time. I’m really focusing on new tunes right
now. In fact, take a look at my
fingers!! I’ve been playing so much
music that my fingers are really sore!!!
I think I blistered one too!
Well, that is just what can happen!!!
It isn’t the first time and I’m sure it won’t be the last!!!
We love playing music together!! Here’s our latest YouTube video and one of
our favorite tunes!!
We’ve had several snow days and had to cancel music lessons
several days last week due to snow and school being out due to bad
weather. I am ready for a new week and
getting to see all my students. They are
a bright spot in my day. I always enjoy
hearing their music and seeing their progress.
Everyone has been choosing songs that they would like to learn, and I
have been really impressed with their choices.
I’m excited for them because I know how much fun it is to learn a song
that you like an enjoy. It is my
pleasure to be an instrument in that experience for them. They make me smile.
I’m preparing for the next 3-day challenge of some of my
favorite Plexus products. It’s such an
easy way to try the products and see what I’m talking about. If
you would like to participate in a challenge with me just email me, it’s listed
below, and I’ll see about getting you ready for the next one that is coming
up.
At session this week, our friend Dave got this picture of Doug
and I playing our fiddles together! We
love playing with this group. I usually
take pictures of everyone but didn’t take any last time. I’ll be sure to do that next time.
Our dryer went out … let’s see … about four months ago maybe
… and we’ve been washing our clothes here at the house and then loading them up
to dry them at the laundromat. We got a
dryer yesterday afternoon and hope to have it moved in and hooked up later today
or tomorrow. Yay!!! I have missed the convenience of having a dryer!!!
I hope you all have a great day!!! Every day is a new beginning! Thanks for stopping by and come back
often! Please remember to be kind to
those around you. There is not enough
kindness in this world. And every bit of
kindness ... no matter how big or small ... matters.
Love and Blessings my Friends! I am so glad you stopped by!
