Only a Season

Trying to remember that this is only a season...

My daughter can now climb up onto the piano bench on her own, which means I am *never* alone.  She loves to play "with" me, and I've done a little sightreading with her by my side, but there is no chance for focused practice.

And when she's napping (more and more seldom, sigh!) or in bed for the night, I grab those precious minutes to do my Bible Study, clean my house, or catch up on "quiet" projects. 

I fear losing my skills and never being able to recapture that focused energy I once poured into practicing.

But I know my daughter craves my attention and loves this "mommy and me" music time.

Sigh.
