Today I am Loving {60a}

When the recital is over and has left you with the rewarding "we worked hard and we are wiped out" feeling, and so you lounge, and talk.

Today I am Loving {60}

When it is recital day, but first there is quality Quint & LoLo time.

Today I am Loving {59b}

When the dear ones have been painting their new house all day, and at the end of it, you whip up some delicious calzones with drinks to accompany and set the yard, for being.

Today I am Loving {59a}

When you are pretty much out of money, 

and also --you think-- out of food, 

but you discover just enough remnants in your refrigerator

to make a salad, such as this.

When the recital is approaching and the rehearsals are happening not quite close to home, and you're doing all the driving but you have a moment of hands-on-the-keys and I-just-love-this, and you arrive at home so groggy groggy and climb into your bed though there is sun still (late) shining, and you wake in the morning but groggy is still with you and so instead of doing the playing work, you sit, and you listen, and you realize: everybody has an opinion, and yours is just as valid.

When the year comes to an end and the piano baby looks 

at all the things that she has learned,

and remarks on all the things she thought she couldn't do but can,

and asks for all the things she has grown into.

Today I am Loving {57}

When you copy the music just a wee bit larger, and are relieved to discover it is not your skills that are failing you, but your vision.
