Of Violins and Veterans

November 11, 2015 by Minnesota Mom Filed Under: Gratitude 1 Comment

365 (Day 313)

The thing about blogging daily is, I don’t know if I should keep it brief because I’ve been putting so much content out there. Today, I think, I’ll keep it brief.

Truth and beauty. Today I am grateful for truth and beauty, in the form of the violin lessons that two of my kids are taking (I’m learning too! ‘Cause it’s Suzuki!) and I am profoundly grateful for our freedom.

Violin Lessons

This isn’t the best photo, granted, but the building where we take lessons is beautiful!

It’s a former convent. ♥

 

Not to be, you know, a downer or anything, but having seen plenty of pictures from the Holocaust, I am so so grateful to our Vets. I’m humbled to have grown up with such an abundance of freedom, and saddened (sometimes) to see how we take it for granted.

Today, thank a veteran for your freedom!

And stop by sometime to hear my six-year-old play! Truly, he squeaks out a mean “Twinkle Twinkle.” 😉

 

Day 11 and counting! 30 posts in 30 days, #comewhatmay.

    We are so blessed in our freedom, we have the privilege of being ungrateful.

Hi there!

I’m Margaret in Minnesota, and this is my mom's-eye perspective of a kid-heavy life. I love the Lord; I take lots of photos; and I always try to tell it like it is, from sex to depression and everything in between! I hope you enjoy your time here. ♥
