I got a HUGE (and I mean HUGE) thrill last night when all six of our strings-playing children played together for the first time! What this means is that Margaret and Eleanor have now progressed to the point of being able to join Amelia, Clara, Jacob and Tim (and Joey and me) in our family strings group. To hear three violins, a viola and two cellos cranking out our familiar Christmas tunes was, well, music to my ears.
What does this have to do with Flylady? Well, when I developed a Control Journal with my Flylady routines, we set a specific time each week to practice special music for church. Establishing that habitual time for all of us to get together to practice has been a huge blessing.
But, then I thought about another Flylady association when it comes to playing music. None of us learned to play these instruments overnight. We all play at this level because we practiced day after day, year after year, sometimes 15 minutes at a time.
