Thank you. That is a good one for me today.

Into our store today walked a "former" friend - she never calls anymore. She works in my field. She does lectures and has a doctorate and performs concerts now. She lost weight and looks great.

I'm your local piano teacher. I only have a bachelor's degree; I have not performed in any concerts. I lost a little weight, but she didn't notice. And I can easily feel down when I tried to be so nice to her and she didn't have time to give me her new phone number.

But, I'm there for my kids - and I have LOTS of them, all who love their piano lessons with me. I do it because I love music and I love kids. Thanks for reminding me of that.
