Salem Youth Symphony concert and Sunday gratitude

Well she did it! She survived her first youth orchestra concert today! Actually, she more than survived. She did beautifully. All of the orchestras did. It was very enjoyable to watch, and I sat there a very proud Mama. I cannot begin to put into words how grateful I am for all she has accomplished in her musical talents.

Sunday gratitude...

...I am thankful for all the teachers and lessons that April has had to help her come this far, and that we've had the means to be able to pay for all of it.

...I am thankful for a full weekend of recitals and this concert

...I am thankful that we got a portion of the garage cleaned out this weekend.

...I am thankful that our home is not flooded and that we don't live in an area that was too badly affected by the crazy wet and rainy weather we have been having.

...I am thankful that we get to do something special for a family this Christmas season.

...I am thankful for Christmas cards, both giving and receiving.
