| "Romantic Stroll" by Brent Heighton |
A week flies by so quickly when I have much on my plate... Quite different than the eternity of Christmas vacation. These letters - their frequency or infrequency - bear witness to my busy times and times of calm! Though I write little these days, I'm keeping my head above water by God's grace.
My spring semester teaching is well underway. Lessons have been scheduled, accompanists procured, recital music planned, syllabus written. And I am so thankful for the peace and serenity that God has given me thus far. I'm finding the quiet in the midst of the storms.
I invited a friend over for dinner this evening, giving myself the challenge of preparing the entire meal without making any extra grocery purchases. This necessitated some creativity on my part regarding the meal planning! As it turned out, I served tilapia with dill sauce, parmesan potato wedges, a vegetable salad with feta cheese and pecans, and quinoa pizza bites. For dessert we enjoyed the strawberry trifle brought by my friend, along with some hot spiced cider to wash it all down. I love sitting down to a leisurely meal, yet I rarely enjoy such feasting by myself, so it's wonderful to be able to share with a friend! (We were college roommates once upon a time, and are now both single teachers, attending the same church, enjoying keeping our own little homes...)
It is bitterly cold here (but no snow, alas) - the perfect weather for snuggling up on the couch with some beautiful poetry and hot tea. I hope you are warm and safe tonight. And I hope that, by God's providence, the nagging loneliness you and I both feel brings us to one another soon.
All my love,
Me
