Local Symphony Orchestras

How many of you live in an area where there is a local symphony orchestra? Look carefully and see if there is one, before you answer "no". Many times the budgets don't allow for any advertising, yet they are a sweet gem that you and everyone else should know about. Even small cities will have orchestras that are full of professional musicians that travel in to perform. This is a great way to hear wonderful musicians in a venue close to home and not pay a bunch of money for tickets!

Resolutions

This is the time for New Years Resolutions. What will yours be? More practice time on violin is a big goal of mine. It is so hard to find "free time". I remember hating to practice when I was a kid, and now I would give my right arm for just a few uninterrupted hours with the violin. Ahh....sweet practice time! Why is it that the things we disliked as kids we long for as adults? Remember hating naps? What I wouldn't give for one today! Bring things to mind that you tried to avoid as a youngster but would enjoy now? How about quiet time to curl up with a book? How about a few minutes of "time out" alone in your room?

Make this year the one where you determine to add one more resolution list....and make it a nostalgic one. Something you didn't like as a child, but would love to do now. I dare you!

Big wedding season coming up. Brides already calling. Christmas must be engagement season....it's when I got my ring 25 years ago! Valentine's Day will only add to the rush! Gotta love it!
