An update on my new music learning endeavors. The cello rocks! I play three scales and a rendition of "Rueben, Rueben," that would make one weep. Ha! I wanted to share how energizing it is for my mind. The synapses must be firing in ways I can't imagine; after practicing for an hour, I went back to WORK---writing an article. That's right instead of being too tired, I was energized. Making music (not just listening)---that's the key. [Pun intended!]
Here's something else lovely, when I look down at my bow hand I see a blue and yellow "buddy walk" bracelet with Caitlin's name on it and it makes me smile inside. I wish she could hear me play the cello.
"Miss you baby girl. I'm working on your songs."
It is all about our children.
ReplyDeleteYour post just makes me smile.
ReplyDeleteIs there a vlog in our future?
I'd love to hear you play...
ReplyDeletegood to hear from you, a different kind of music, but still music.

Maybe she does hear them.
ReplyDeleteThat's so great!
ReplyDeleteBravo, bravo!
ReplyDeleteoh, I've always wanted to learn the cello. Maybe one day we'll hear a sound clip?
ReplyDeleteI am sure Caitlin is pulling the bow with you, she sits lightly on it.
And now I'm here again. Randomly. I wonder if this is why my son is called Reuben. I love the cello, I hope Caitlin hears you play for her x
