1 mile: A thought of the day occurred today as I was driving to tutor one of my former students and that was this concept of " Melody Street." I think my life purpose has always been to get others to recognize the melody inside of themselves and so as I passed this street today on my way to have a "reading party" filled with balloons and silly string with one of my former students whilst building fluency, comprehension and completing a novel study-I thought to myself-there is always a reason to encourage another to travel down melody street too. Something I have pondered and understood over the past year is that detecting and creating a melody that is "just right" is simply impossible. But recognizing that there is a melody within yourself that already exists to better the world is really quite invigorating. Let melody street begin every day we are offered yet another day-another shot at something beautiful.
