It's amazing how starting something I've been putting off can cheer me up so much. Just tuning my violin made me happy today. I just played for a few minutes, but it felt good. It reminds me of how I sometimes dread going to work, but once I get there and start "ringing" (what cashiers do), I feel fine. The routine of ringing can even be comforting. By the time I've told twenty customers I'm doing very well, thanks, I'd better be feeling fine! It's the same walking out the door to do an errand I've been avoiding, or getting in the shower. All these things I avoid are okay once I begin them.
Beginnings, débuts, baptisms, tonics.
Awakenings, realizations, openings.
Openings of eyes, stores, doors.
Dreams give way to reality.
Babies are bathed and baptized, agnostic adults simply shower.
Sunrises, springs, seeds.
Coffee. A walk outside. Warming up.
Tightening the bow. Tuning. The A. Schradieck number 1.
Every day is the oldest you've ever been and the youngest you'll ever be.
You'll always look younger on your driver's license.
