I am thinking…
about the discussion I just had with Noah a few hours ago about Frederick Nietzsche and what he meant when he said, “God is Dead.” You really have a chance to dive into some deep thoughts when you live with a philosophy major.

I am thankful…

that Mr. Pete could go to Noah’s choir concert on Friday night while I took Rosie to track practice. I’m sorry I missed the concert but happy that we could be there for both of our children and meet their special needs.

I’m also thankful for the crowd that came to my concert yesterday. I truly thought we would only have a handful of people and to have all of the chairs filled was very gratifying and I am truly grateful.

I am pondering…
so many things – but I wonder if I really keep at it, how much more could I improve my playing in the next year?

One of my Favorite Things…

I am hearing…
Videos from last night’s concert

In the kitchen…
what? I have to cook again?  I’m thinking baked chicken probably.

I am wearing…
Black Pants, Black thermal shirt and gray hoodie

I am going…

• Walking, exercising, weigh lifting and ab work as much as possible. If my knee isn’t better by June, I think a little surgery may be in my future. 
• add some additional novenas next year with the help of PrayMoreNovenas.com Mr. Pete started saying the Divine Office with me in the morning and we are going to keep it up even now that Lent is over. 
• to cut my carbs via the Wheat Belly Total Health: The Ultimate Grain-Free Health and Weight-Loss Life Plan recommendations and Intermittent Fasting.  
• Find something new to practice! 
• Get Rosie to her play practices, track practices and piano programs.

This semester she is also going to do drama – Pride and Predjudice – the musical!

A Picture to Share…

I shot this just before the doors opened for my concert. Those are silk tulips from Michael’s! The cloth covering the table is indeed an antique embroidered by my great-grandmother. The table use to belong to my late sister-in-law, Irene.

A quote to share…

“Musical ideas sprang to my mind like a flight of butterflies, and all I had to do was to stretch out my hand to catch them.”    Charles Gounod
