Today was my son’s very first piano lesson. I think it’s safe to say we had an amazing night. Moses had taught himself to play several pieces before his lesson, and played all of them for his teacher. He continued playing melodic lines while his teacher played harmonies. He learned to sightread, and how to play by ear. His teacher is thrilled, and so am I! This is truly wonderful, as Maddie took to the violin like a duck to water when she was 7. Her lessons resume tomorrow.

In other news, my gratitude today is THROUGH THE ROOF because I heard that my sweet friend, who had surgery yesterday, had a BENIGN tumor removed. I couldn’t have asked for better news for her!

Overall, even with all of the work going on and the usual struggles that come from day-to-day, I can’t be anything but thankful. We are so blessed. So so blessed.

And, of course, I’m excited because I have a house full of music again. I wouldn’t have it any other way.

I hope you are all having a thankful Thursday! Blessings to you all…

“May the road rise up to meet you. May the wind be always at your back. May the sun shine warm upon your face. May the rain fall soft upon your fields. And until we meet again, may God hold you in the palm of His hand.”
