I had to ask Ken what day I was on today. It is going by faster than I thought it would. I am getting close to two weeks. It is still easier than I thought it would be. When I think of it as something I want to do instead something I have to do it makes a big difference. I think it is that way with many things for people, especially when it comes to school or work. When you are a child you do what you have to but when you are older have options to choose from and hopefully it is something you enjoy or something your heart really desires to do. I know sometimes it does not always work out that way, but it is nice having lots of options.
I am getting a little further along in my piano book. I played a song today that I played in my piano recital when I was taking lessons when I was a kid. I can still remember what I was wearing that day. A long yellow satin sleeveless dress that I had wore in a relatives wedding. My hands were so sweaty by the time they called my name to go forward I thought my fingers would slide off the piano keys. The room seemed packed full of people and I was certain I would pass out before I even sat on the bench. I was so terrified I am still not sure how I pulled it off to this day. It was the best I had ever played almost as if someone else had taken over my hands. I was so thankful when it was over. It was as scary as standing up front in Mrs. Palmers class reciting the caterpillar poem. I can still remember that poem to this day.
I memorized another Spanish word today. I memorized good grief in Spanish. It is in chapter one so it must be a word they use a lot. It reminded me of my grandmother. That was something she would say on occasion. I would wonder who thought of that phrase. What is good about grief ? and the other ones she would say like for Pete's sake or for the love of Pete. Who was Pete? I miss hearing her voice. One of my ten things that I did today was plant some of her Cherry seeds that we found in a baggy that she had saved. I don't know how long she had them or if they will grow, but I thought I would give it a try.
I am still really happy I have tried this. even though it is a little bit of a challenge some days when I have been really busy or am not feeling up to par. I feel like I have had a full and satisfying day when I go to bed at night. No regrets :)
May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace as you trust in him, so that you may overflow with hope by the power of the Holy Spirit. Romans 15:13
