I woke up feeling achy again, and did my old hitting of the snooze alarm this morning. But then I heard a text message come in. At exactly 9:00 a.m. when I absolutely needed to get up or start my day running late.
It was from "Fish Food 4 Thought". It's a daily inspirational text I signed up for through 104.1 The Fish radio station. This is what it said:
"If God can somehow raise the dead, He can surely help you raise your head".
I actually laughed out loud! I am committed to drawing closer to God. And I have trouble getting out of bed on time in the morning. Why not bring it to Him in prayer? Duh! lol
So now I am on track. I had my baked oatmeal for breakfast. It was really good. Not sweet at all. I put a little bit of coconut spread on top and microwaved it. Next is my run.
I am meeting some new students this afternoon. A whole family of kids that want to learn piano. Should be fun!
Then it is off to a rehearsal with my friend Judy. She plays recorder. And she is always introducing me to pieces of music I have never heard, and composers I have never heard of! I love it! We are working on a piece by Han Ulrich Staeps. Hauntingly beautiful. And tortuous! But I do love a challenge!
After reherasal with Judy, I teach a few classes. Then I have dinner out before choir practice.
Today is looking like a very good day!
Last night before I went to bed, I was listening to All Classical 89.9 radio. It occurred to me that I should raise the bar with my musical knowledge. I tend to keep music in the background, except when I am studying for a performance.
So I am going through a list of 300 top rated classical pieces of all times. I found it on ClassicFM, a British radio station. This is just the tip of the iceberg, and it was music voted on by their listeners, but many of the pieces I am not familiar with. So I am going to listen to a few each day. Unfortunately, I cannot stream this station here in the US, so I either go to youtube, or download if I really like it. Here is the site: http://halloffame.classicfm.com/2015/
Happy Thursday!
