A railroad switch point on the tracks at the Golden Spike National Historic Park There is a lot I don't know. I don't know who will lead the United States for the next four years (at the time I'm composing this post, that hasn't been determined yet.) I don't know when covid cases will stop rising in my state and start decreasing. I don't know how challenging situations will turn out. There is much uncertainty in life. Living in limbo-land is hard. It's emotionally exhausting. It can be immobilizing. My body seems to think chocolate is the answer, but I know that isn't a long-term solution. What do I need in times like these? I need to REMEMBER . 1. R esilience. People are resilient. I am resilient. I'm thankful for resilience. 2. " E ach Life That Touches Ours for Good." So many people, both those I know in "real life," and those I have only met virtually, have taught me, encouraged me, and been examples to me. I'm thankful
Living life with a thankful heart
I love the violin favorite piece is Vivaldi Winter- :)
ReplyDeleteVivaldi compositions are lovely.
DeleteI found violin so difficult. I think its the no frets thing... Where do I put my fingers? None the less such a glorious instrument!
ReplyDeleteMe, too! With piano, what you play is what you get. With violin, just a slight shift of the finger can make your note go flat (or sharp). However, I also agree that the violin is a beautiful instrument! One of these days, I need to take mine out of its case and practice!
DeleteThe violin not only sounds beautiful but also looks beautiful.
ReplyDeleteYou are right; it is a beautiful instrument in looks as well as in sound.
DeleteGrowing up I always wanted to learn to play the violin. I begged my mother for one but since she had hated practicing she was convinced that I would hate it and that it would be a waste of her money.
ReplyDeleteI'm sorry. It's never too late, though! :-) I didn't study violin until my daughter did.
DeleteMy dad's dream has always been to play the violin. I was horrible at the flute and all music. Love this though.
ReplyDeleteHe should pursue his dream. :-)
DeleteValuable skill, playing the Violin. Personally haven't a musical bone in my body, but I admire those who can get music out of such a difficult instrument.
ReplyDeleteIt's not an easy one, that's for sure.
