loving.

Today only comes once every four years... That makes it pretty special. However, every day only comes once a year, so that makes them all pretty special.

I'm so in love with my life, sometimes I forget that. Here are 10 things that make me remember just how in love I am!

1. how I have meaningful conversations with all of my friends.
2. that I like reading books.
3. that I know my family loves me and will always love me no matter what.
4. how God shows me what is best, even when I don't want to see it.
5. that I feel so fulfilled when playing the piano.
6. that I like living in the rain
7. how hugging people is something I do regularly.
8. when Celia smiles so big that her eyes close.
9. how I have the honour and responsibility of being a role model to so many youth.
10. that I'm healthy, and my family is healthy.

There is just so much to love :)

Windows and Learning Curves.

1. Clean the window

2. Admire the streak free shine.

3. Admire the view.

4. Feel like the best 50's housewife ever. 

Check. 

Windows are the most satisfying things to clean! 

I was supposed to study today as midterms are coming up. However, I decided to clean instead! It's the best kind of procrastination. 

Afterwards I learned this song on piano! The lyrics are great, I can't get enough of it. 

On that note,  I've been arranging and writing so much more music lately, it's just awesome!

Although I keep thinking that I'm most likely going to burn out sometime soon with my 11/2 hrs of lessons per week (which means 11/2 hrs of practice per day) I honestly don't see it happening! I just love piano so much, its crazy. I think not taking lessons since 14 has given me a chance to "grow up" musically, and I have my own style, rather than playing the way a teacher trained me to. 

I am already seeing the benefits of my practising in my own music, it's really exciting! Plus, the prospect of actually giving to others through teaching music makes any thoughts of not wanting to practice disappear... I'm liking having a goal to work toward, rather than just playing for the sake of playing.
