«NEW ENGLAND II»

New England trip continues...

«RELIEF»

Today, the first of May, marked the day when I finished my Master of Music requirements. I can't tell you just how relieved and how awesome that feels like. All the hard work that had been put in came down to this morning when I played my last jury in front of my teachers. That was it! I told myself that as I walked out of the CFA building and faced with a new chapter of my life. There's sadness mixed in with the tremendous amount of joy. Boston Spring just seemed a little different now. Not worse, or better, just different.

«SECRET WINDOWS»

I love looking out the windows of my house. It's not that Tim and I lived in any fancy house with an ocean view or anything, but it's just a simple rental townhouse that we settled in when we first got to Boston and we've lived here ever since. I've always complained about the lighting of the house because a massive wall, which is the back of a shopping plaza, blocks the light from coming into our living room and bedroom. We've tried to move to a different place many times, but ultimately we realized that there's always going to be pros and cons no matter where we go, and also, we became attached to this place.
After my heart settled down, I began to see the beautiful views that were unnoticed, the views of hope, tranquility and gratitude in the simplest things in everyday life.
