Morning?

It's very dark and rainy this morning...hardly seems like morning 

at all and it also seems to have settled in for the entire day.

Today: 

Students at 1:30, 2:15, 3:15 and 4:45

Make enchiladas for supper

Bake bread

With my day so broken up with teaching, I'll probably just try and get in some reading in between things.

Things and situations on my heart:

*Daughter #2 and her anxiety - I don't want to see her have to start meds. She has a Dr. appt. June 11.

*My first real attempt with a remote piano lesson this afternoon. My 3:15 student is living in Ohio and is willing to experiment with me to see if we can make this work. 

* One of our church members came up to me after church asking if I had any room for new students!! She and her husband are talking about starting their son and she also wants to take lessons. She said she had a few when she was young. She is one of our local physicians. She said they are just in the thinking stages, but I'm just hoping they will decide for sure to go through with it. I remember her husband happened in while I was setting up for the Christmas recital and I invited him to stay but he couldn't. He heard me practicing on the piano a bit at that time, I don't know if that was what got him started thinking about it or not. Anyway...got my fingers crossed! I am currently working 3 hrs. 45 min. - 5 hrs. 15 min. depending on the week and I need to be working 16-20 hours a week. 

* The field trip I am taking with my students to see, hear and play the pipe organ on Thursday evening. I have also invited my church family, but so far, no one is interested. :(

* Finances- always a concern. We have so many repair needs and bills to pay off right now that it is overwhelming. We need steady work to come to the shop and students to my door.

* A dear friend of mine is sitting by her father's beside as he is in what very well could be his final days of his struggle with cancer. 

* Wisdom for the newly established organ committee at church and for the future of our music ministry. 

Blessings:

Since we are down to one vehicle, Hubby had to drive me to my organ practice time yesterday and when he returned to pick me up he came in for a bit to listen. He has only been able to do this once or twice in the 20 or so years I've been practicing there. It was nice to have him share that time with me.
