It’s been a long time since I posted anything. I would think of something I wanted to say and then responsibility would call and off I’d go. Somehow, I never got back to my blog. Of course, the holiday season is always a little more hectic but this year my family faced other challenges as well. We had a long stretch of bad weather, so much snow and ice we couldn’t really get out to do anything. Then, there were the medical mishaps and close calls. We’re still in the middle of some of that now but I’m making posting more a priority as well.

Normally my husband and I spend Thanksgiving day with some of our family. This year we were planning to spend it with my mother-in-law and just have a quiet day. We even changed our menu from turkey to chili because we’ve all been so busy lately and we didn’t want to do a lot of cooking. Well, the day turned out to be quieter than I expected.

Yesterday my seven-year-old granddaughter lost one of her top two front teeth. To be 100% correct, my husband pulled out her very loose tooth. It was actually rather comical watching her throughout the day. She kept wiggling that tooth until it was literally hanging by a thread. However, she was afraid to pull it out because she thought it would hurt too much. Of course, when her Papa actually pulled it out, it didn’t really hurt at all.

Sometimes life gets so busy and I forget to take time for myself. With all of the babysitting I’ve been doing and other events going on in our family, I haven’t had time to play the piano lately. As a musician, it has been like living with an incomplete soul. This morning I pulled out one of my favorite books and began playing some music by Suzanne Ciani. If you’ve never heard her music or played it, I encourage you to give it a try. It’s beautiful, relaxing piano music of the New Age genre.

Yesterday was D-Day, a pivotal event in World War II. As a child, I knew quite a few people who fought in World War II so I definitely feel a connection with people who served in this conflict. Of course, many of these people have now died but I remember them fondly.

One of my favorite quotes is:
What you leave behind is not what is engraved in stone monuments but what is woven into the lives of others.
