The Joy of Being a Teacher

Our Fiddlestix ensemble performed last night at the Zion Lutheran Church in town. We had some real challenges...........we lost a few fiddlers, and our percussion and keyboardist couldn't come. Our one last fellow sprained his hand a few hours prior in a football game.

But we pulled ourselves up by our bootstraps..........and it was the best performance yet! Better than the one 20 hours into our work together. The spirit of the event came upon us and we played our hearts out.

Our newest member, Brooke L. asked just yesterday morning if she could join us.......and she played a terrific rendition of "Go Tell Aunt Rhody".

Every step that these students take.........every new technique, every song perfected makes my heart soar.

I am grateful that I have a profession that I run to each morning, and if it were not for my family I wouldn't leave at night. May everyone someday find something that they love to go to every day.
