It's May and Spring is now in full force. In fact, it will be Summer before we know it! This Spring has already brought about some wonderful activities and is looking to be the precursor to a fantastic Summer!
As far as music goes, I played a recital at Saint Stephen's Episcopal Cathedral in Wilkes-Barre in April and I played in the first annual 'Organ Gala' at the First United Methodist Church in Catawissa. My choir has been working very hard on music for our evensong on Mother's day - just a week away!
Aside from the music, today I attended a church dinner at the house of some of my dearest friends. There were nine of us total. The company was lovely and the food was magnificent. I was the youngest one there by far, and it was amazing to hear their stories about 'how things used to be'. Even though I couldn't sympathize, I was more than content to reminisce vicariously with them.
I find myself so blessed to have made relationships with so many older people. Some of my closest friends are anywhere from their late twenties to their late seventies or older. I think for a young person to develop meaningful relationships with adults is incredibly beneficial for ones character and understanding of life. When you can find mutual respect across generational borders, it helps you look at the world in a different way.
