What Day Is It? I am writing Wednesday's with Wendy today which is Sunday. Finding my rhythm as a new blogger while acknowledging a newfound way to interject humour every time Nini and I joke on Zoom, reflects the subject of this weeks post. Despite class schedules, we laugh reminding each other of what day of the week it is. I treasure the laughter we share. I treasure the ability we have had to truly keep our community of music makers thriving through the Music Together® song collections of Maracas, Kazoo, and now Bongos. Thank you for trusting us that your time with us will be valuable, will still be Music Together, and for your awesome family participation that is guided through the window of your screens.
Pre-Covid 19, and further back for me, pre-Feb. 26, 2016 the date of a car accident that changed my daily life, I was juggling many hats as they say. I knew what day of the week it was based on what was on my calendar. Days had routines, rituals, tasks, driving routes, lunch dates, gatherings, and significant life events to gather, memorialise, mourn, and yes celebrate.
So without all those touch stones, anchors, that used to be my life and all of our lives, how the heck are we supposed to know the answer to WHAT DAY IS IT?
The good news is that for those with musical bouncing babies, dancing toddlers, creative preschoolers, and drumming Rhythm Kids®, we do what we do for them to thrive. Guess what? The answer to: What Day Is It?, is irrelevant because we do it every day, 24 hrs a day. Every parent knows this. It isn't about the day, but about what we do with our precious time. Time is also for rest, and recharging when possible. I hope that experiencing music with your child/ren serves as a recharging of your heart and soul. To focus on your amazing children in play and allowing yourself to play in that moment.
Time does not feel the same for me, it hasn't since 2016, and yet I know that time remains my greatest gift from G-d. I open my eyes each day in deep gratitude. Yes, I get sidetracked by world events. All I will say is please exercise your right to vote!
I have refrained from any political discussion in my business since opening in 2003. What can be more pure than every single family coming together through music to support their child/rens growth? Music heals the world and brings the world together. Music Learning Supports All Learning®!
What we do everyday, regardless of "What Day Is It?", is sing together in support of every child. Thank you for sharing your children with us, thank you for showing up, thank you to those that were able to meet with Nini and I on Thurs. to pick up your materials. My husband enjoyed meeting you all as Nini and I delighted in getting to talk with you outside, (albeit socially distanced and masked), and say hello to your children, even if they were in the midst of a peaceful nap. Thank you. ~Wendy
