“And so, I let the latte-wielding Bluetooth warriors and others who are a part of cuckoo-mania be. They’re not my rocks to move. They’re just part of the river I’m learning to flow through—with humor, grace, and maybe a scone of my own.”——LOVE this 🩵

I'm very very slowly learning this. When it's a family member it is so difficult, but I'm working on it! I deserve my own peace. Thanks for the reminder.

As a professional conductor for several decades, I confess this is still difficult for me, but I’ve gotten a little better at it over time. I don’t remember ever regretting the decision not to swim upstream, but sometimes I just can’t resist cueing the saxophones. 🎷
