Well, just after I complained yesterday about being overwhelmed with everything starting at the same time, today happened. \u00a0No, it wasn’t anything huge. \u00a0In fact I didn’t even think twice about stuff that happened until I started teaching this afternoon and thought back over my day so far. \u00a0And then I smiled and said to myself, “Huh. \u00a0I bet that wasn’t a coincidence.”<\/p>\n
I went to my music seminar utterly unprepared. \u00a0I forgot to pre-order all the music like I normally do, so I was going empty handed. \u00a0And I couldn’t even find my contest list sheet with all the songs listed. \u00a0But when I got there, I ran into my friend (who happens to be my old boss in MMTA) and she encouraged me and then just “happened” to have copies of EVERY SINGLE SONG for the day. \u00a0And she gave them to me.<\/p>\n
My friend at church volunteered to come and watch the kids for me this morning while I went to to the seminar. \u00a0I was a bit stressed about Maddie being on schedule because I tell this friend all the time, “Oh, Maddie is such a great baby! \u00a0She’s totally on a great schedule and is like clockwork!”… so now was the true test. \u00a0Would she be a good baby, like I had led her to believe? \u00a0Yes. \u00a0(Whew!) \u00a0Another huge relief. \u00a0She said Maddie was so easy and happy. \u00a0(Double whew!)<\/p>\n
I know it’s not much when I write it down, but sometimes it’s the little things that can really turn your day around. \u00a0I was completely refreshed by the time I left my music seminars. \u00a0I forgot how much I really enjoy listening to really good live piano music. \u00a0This was an upper level for contest, so it wasn’t music I can generally sit down and sight read well, so it was so much fun to immerse myself in music for 2 hours. \u00a0It reminds me how much I love doing what I do.<\/p>\n
So, even though I complained yesterday, I have a new outlook tonight. \u00a0\ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
