It’s been a busy week that’s helped me focus on important matters close to home.

Pattie was down with strep throat for almost a week, now well on the mend. But b/c she wasn’t well, I made the trip up to NY alone to help Joe, Cristin, and the boys move into their new home. So it was a week of working to address immediate issues.

It is so very helpful to live in the moment for a while. Taking care of problems that are right in front of your face–getting Pattie’s medicine, packing a box or moving a light fixture. Making an effort and actually seeing the positive result, rather than focusing on problems of a grand nature, has improved my mood greatly.

The next day or two will be about preparing/packing for our trip to UArkansas. A performance of Prismata on Monday night will be a highlight of a trip including a few rehearsals and perhaps some time with student composers. But as much as anything, we’re really looking forward to seeing Chris and Jann again, as it’s been too long!
