Well, life has been happening, moving forward with full speed. As I'm sure most people will agree, once Halloween occurs, the next few months are a blur. While I love my job I am also very glad to know that long weekends are ahead as I usually work 6 days a week and my evenings, once home, are pretty packed.
The last week or so, I keep thinking, wow, "today I'm grateful for X," and I realized I should write them down. I like this blog so I can vent if I need to or be able to review the great things that have happened.
Sunday: I'm grateful that I can usually plan something with friends. This past Sunday I was able to get lunch with a friend I haven't seen since last summer. That's way too long! We live pretty far from each other and it's hard to get together when you work 6 days a week. Whenever I can, I try to *not* set an alarm.
Monday: I love working out and I'm grateful to see my trainer Monday mornings, bright and early. I love seeing my kiddos, my flute students, on Mondays. This week was more challenging than usual (key signatures people, oh, and let's count those rhythms too...), but I LOVE seeing them and if kids don't keep you in check with your own behavior or practice habits, then I don't know what will. ;)
Tuesday: I have quintet rehearsals Tuesday mornings and there is nothing better than beginning your day creating music, especially when it includes good people who are also talented musicians.
Wednesday: More personalized training and I have a later shift at work so when I drive home the drive isn't *as* horrible. It's nice to get home before 9pm too.
Thursday: Tap class!!! I absolutely love this class and I'm so grateful I get to take it. I've been wanting to take a dance class for years but didn't have the money or resources. Now, I'm taking tap and it's perfect for me. While I love Zumba too (dance like no one is watching!), I love learning and building skills.
Friday: I've almost made it to the weekend! I get home most Fridays before 7:30pm (wahoo!) and I usually talk to my parents so it's nice catching up.
Saturday: I survived another week and it's finally my "Friday." I try and get as much done around the condo as we can as I like having things done before the 'weekend' actually starts.
So, there it is! What do YOU look forward to each day? The consistant things for me that I wouldn't list each time are Aaron (but of course!), cuddling with Sicily, and practicing.
