So…  apparently I have a small injury. Yesterday, I began having some pain in my right arm. I immediately stopped playing because  I don’t know what’s going on and I don’t want to make it worse. Since then I’ve taught in creative ways, with singing and clapping and explaining. (But that’s not too bad because I already did all that, I just demonstrated (on viola) in addition.)

Today I’m hurting. Kind of a lot. I don’t know exactly what the problem is. Maybe a pinched nerve in my neck. (I’ll keep you guys posted.) It doesn’t mean I stop studying or learning or growing. Right now my full time job is healing and keepin’ on keepin’ on.

When we hurt, it doesn’t mean we stop. Period.
