For the Beauty

To say I love the cello would be an understatement. 

I have played the cello since the age of 8 and have never stopped.

So many songs use the soothing sounds of it's strings 

it has a deep meaningful sound that can fabricate almost any emotion.

These last few weeks at any given night I have been practicing my cello.

(not something that I have done since before Luke came around)

I am playing a solo in my church this Sunday and I am a perfectionist who gets nervous.

So I am taking at least a hour a night to rehearse this beautiful song 

so I don't ruin the spirit in the room for everyone but promote it. 

As much as I love to play my cello performing in front of people 

has always been a frightening experience for me.  

Coming from a girl who has danced on stage her whole life,

sung on thousands of occasions even at professional

 sports events with over 20,000 people, this feeling always shocks  me.

I rarely get nervous and rarely feel the kind of anxiety that comes from performing my cello.

My Mom wants me to record it so she can hear so I may (?) 

post a recording of my song on here.

I will be happy once Sunday is over and I can get back to playing my cello

just in the quiet parts of my house where only my family can hear.

Speaking of the cello I am teaching a student of mine tonight

who is learning twinkle twinkle little star.  

I am so impressed with her dedication already, I love seeing new things through kids eyes.

I love this rendition below.

Enjoy!
