We contain multitudes. Joy and the blues. JoyBlues.
Certainly I’m sad to say goodbye to the adventures of summer with my kids. To dreaming, walking, exploring. To figuring out what my next book will be!
So yes, I feel the blues about the start of the school year.
But I also feel great joy. I love helping students make music. I love the rhythm and the routine of the school year. Dreaming requires action. Walking and exploring are great, but so is being at a destination you love.
Time to get started – a new year beckons!
