Monday Musings: The First

Welcome to the first installment of "Monday Musings"!

Hi friend, and happy Monday!

I love Mondays - the beginning of a new week, a blank slate, a fresh start. It helps, of course, that the job of being a musician comes with very few expectations for Mondays - no commute, no meetings, no "back to the grind". (On the flip side, "back to the grind" doesn't exist when you're self employed because the grind never. ever. stops.) But anyway, Mondays - they can be great! Which is why we'll be sending you some thoughts, reflections, updates, and good vibes every Monday from now on. Let's start our week together on a good note. 🎵

We haven't been in touch with you very much in the past few months, and we're sorry about that. Like everyone, our lives have been turned upside down by the pandemic, and most of our energy has gone into keeping ourselves mentally and physically well. We have been slowing down, allowing gentleness and quiet to come back into our lives. We've been baking bread, pressing flowers, tending our garden. We spend a lot of time swaying in our hammock, looking at the green leaves dotting the blue sky, and marveling at how far squirrels can jump. Every day holds grief and beauty in equal parts. But we're getting by, and we hope you are too.

Can you relate? What have you been doing to keep yourself well in these strange, strange times? Leave a comment to let us know 😁

As always, thank you for being here with us. May your week be filled with good music.
