Feeling a bit better today. This is slow progress. I must remember about the getting older thing!
I am traveling slowly. And with an ice pack.
I plan on stopping at the gym after my teaching tonight for a hot tub soak. Tomorrow I hope to go in for some light cardio and stretching.
Oh to be able to walk carefree again! It has been almost a week since I injured my pesky SI joint. I hope never again!
I do believe I need to be working harder on my core after this adventure. Doing research.
I had a cute moment with two of my young piano students. They are brothers. And it really had nothing to do with piano. Last week I asked them about their costumes for Halloween. Kids love to talk about their Halloween costumes. And of course the week after Halloween, I always ask how much candy they got.
But lately I have been subtly (ok not so subtly!) hinting with all of my students that I love chocolate. And I, an adult piano teacher NEVER get any Halloween candy. So today when I arrived at their house, I asked them about their Halloween. The younger boy, (who is rather mischievous and not exactly thrilled about piano lessons), looked at my sheepishly and mumbled something. I asked him what he said. He said, "I saved you some chocolate". He looked embarrassed. Then he went to his little plastic pumpkin and pulled out a Hershey's chocolate bar.
For that moment when I smiled and thanked him profusely, my back pain subsided. To have a moment of generosity from a child like this made my heart sing. We had our usual lesson, but he seemed happier. And took instruction with less fuss.
His older brother than came in. He loves piano and is a breeze to teach. I asked him about his Halloween and he proudly pulled out TWO pieces of chocolate from behind his music book.
"I saved you some chocolate", he smiled.
These moments in life. Are sweeter than chocolate!
(I hope I get more!)
Happy Thursday!
