St. Cecilia, patroness of musicians, pray for me.I have promised my daughters, both of whom are learning to play instruments; Gaby the guitar, and Bella the piano, that I would play my violin with them this Advent. We want to play some of our favorite Advent and Christmas carols together as a trio.
It sounds lovely, but I'm a bit nervous as I'm VERY rusty on the violin. I have played since 4th grade, but, as I always used to say, "I only play when I'm lonely". I was a lonely teenager, and young adult, but since having a family, I haven't played at all. Is it because I'm no longer lonely, or because I have less time?!
So, St. Ceclia, have the Lord bless our efforts to create harmony that spreads from us to the rest of the family.

Don't worry, it'll all come back to you. I stopped playing for about 3-4 years around the time that we moved - when I started up again last year it was like I never stopped. Of course, now it is very difficult, because my teacher pushes me pretty hard, and it makes me wish I had worked as hard as I should have on the violin from the moment I started it.
You'll all have to play for me sometime!! Tell Gabby and Bella that I really want to hear them play!
