Missing the Arts
Good Morning Everyone,
I have officially moved to my new office and everything is in place. I am excited about this new journey. I did order a new piece of art to place on my wall. I can’t wait for it to arrive!
Summer is drawing near and some of my favorite events are starting to pop up on my calendar. During the month of May, I normally check the Indianapolis Symphony Orchestra calendar to see what the times, themes, and dates are for the Lunch Break Series. I mentioned this event before and have gone several times. Sadly I don’t think they will be having it this year due to Covid.

I am going to miss these events so much! I loved going to the symphony during my lunch break. It provided education, culture, food, and socializing. It provided everything an elegant being could want.
I also really miss my piano lessons from my teacher Ms. Julia.

Me with my piano teacher Ms. Julia in 2016.
These lessons gave me something to work toward. It caused me to use my mind in different ways. It encouraged memorization, technique, and note reading. It is truly a subject to study and one that I miss greatly. I still stay in touch with my piano teacher. She misses teaching as well but after COVID hit she had to make some life changes as well. I also miss taking my daughter to her violin lessons. I didn’t realize how much we were doing until everything stopped.

I miss my ballet lessons, art/painting classes, the symphony and theatrical performances. Some of these were able to go online which I’ve taken advantage of that provision. It’s still not the same as being in person, however I applaud the effort that these business that opted for alternative means to still reach us. That’s a beautiful painting for your office. She’s lovely.
You took ballet? Oh, I envy you! I always wanted to take ballet when I was a child. There were so many things I wanted to try when I was younger but…. it’s good to hear that some of your activities went to virtual. It’s not the same but it helps. The Lunch Break series will be online but it won’t be the same. I am trying to go with the flow but it is hard.
I am excited about the print coming. I hope she fits in my new gold frame. I will be sure to share a photo!
I use Ballet Beautiful from Mary Helen Bowers online program. You can stream lessons, book sessions or buy DVDs. She trains the Victoria Secret Angels. Try that🥰
I just checked this online. Looks wonderful! Thank you!
