Sunday is always my most unproductive day of the week. I've got a lifetime of weird guilt surrounding "doing things" on Sunday that has lead to me snacking, watching tv, and napping on Sunday. As a kid my parents didn't have rules surrounding what we could and couldn't do on Sunday, but my friends and neighbors did. I was allowed to play but my friends weren't. Then when I went on a mission it really hammered in the nail of only doing church-related things on Sundays. My rebellion is in the fact that Ryan and I buy groceries just about every Sunday. Okay, enough about that.
I was feeling really gloomy on this particular Sunday. I don't need to go into the details as to why but I definitely was in sweats all day long, aside from the three hours I was wearing a church-appropriate top while I was in Zoom meetings from 10:30-2:00.
Then tonight I randomly stumbled upon a video that was using one of Mozart's famous songs in the background and it made me feel so alive. Now here I am with Mozart plugged in my ears just WISHING I could play the piano. I don't need to play to the ability of Mozart but I just want to be able to play a sheet of music! I really desire to learn piano.
Anyway, this music has reminded me why life IS beautiful and I feel happy to be a part of the world. Even if it's annoying to be in a world that expects me to have black and white thinking, when things are too nuanced for me to do that.
Here are some happy photos from the last couple of months.
