 Just a few things I identify with in some way.

"Everyone says I am lucky,” he added. “But every coin has two faces.”" -  Andrea Mosconi (the man with the job of playing three Stradivari violins each morning to keep them in shape)

I paid my last rent.  My xylitol is running out.  My audition is in two weeks.  We’re in the month I’m leaving for home.  My best friend from college gets married in five weeks.  Next month I’ll be running on the sand bar, sailing in the sound, lying on the deck, playing with cousins and nephews, and eating fresh flounder with family at the Maggie P.!  For now, I’m doing my best to keep my head above water.  I’m not sure if the water is mostly imaginary.  I’m learning to trust in God, but I still stress over every lesson, though I’m learning to relax.  Praise God they continue to go well, and though I’m stressed sometimes much of the time I’m consciously enjoying daily activities and I even stop to smell the roses.
