do you ever have one of those moments? you know, a moment when you're just glowing with happiness from the inside out? you want to shout it from the rooftops, smile at even the crankiest-looking strangers- maybe even run up and give them a hug?

i just had that moment.
all week long.
part of it is the impending holiday, but mostly it's because i got myself some violin students! {and a violist or two as well} and really, there's nothing in the world like doing what you love. rediscovering your passion. remembering that yes, i do love to teach and i'm good at it!
after my 5th lesson of the week i really don't think i could be happier. unless maybe i got a new pair of shoes. scratch that, i think i'm flying high on that just-bought-10-new-pairs-of-shoes-and-still-guilt-free-about-it feeling.
it's not "don't rain on my parade" it's "you couldn't rain on my parade if you tried!"
so yeah, i guess it's been a good week :)
what have you been up to??
What a happy post. So glad to hear that you have new students and that you're doing what you love! That is quite a good feeling. And the holidays this week, too!
ReplyDeleteThat's awesome! I wish that feeling could last all of the time!

I miss tutoring so much! There was nothing like working with kids to help me forget my problems and just be able to enjoy myself and laugh. You're so lucky you get to do something as fantastic as give violin lessons -- that really sounds like fun! Right now, I've been volunteering at a high school in San Diego, but it's not the same as having that one-on-one time with kids.
ReplyDeletethat's so awesome!! obviously that is what you are meant to be doing!
ReplyDeleteoh yay!!! i am so happy for you! i've been consuming myself with lots of things that make me truly happy this week... now if only i could find a way to make money while doing it. don't they need professional christmas decoration makers? :)
ReplyDeletei love that print! we are a very musical household {the mr. plays violin, and a bunch of other instruments} and we just got back into making music more regularly. i love having live music in my own living room!

Yeah congrats! Being busy with Thanksgiving shopping over here. And getting our new adoptie bunny Maria familiar with us. She's a cutie!
ReplyDeleteCongrats on doing what you love :) I played the violin back when and there are days when I wish I still continued with it.
ReplyDeleteBeen mostly busy with the holidays but trying to find some time for my own little projects as well. I love this time of year though and am indulging in some relaxing pajama time, too :)
congrats!! you make me wish i had stuck with the violin. i had some students when i was in high school, but they were all younger kids and so it wasnt really legit. i am so happy for you that you get to do what you love!!!
ReplyDeleteHooray for happiness!!! I've been having that sort of week, too, and it's such a delight. Also, that print is so lovely -- checking out the shop right now!
