The Best Part of My Day

“Little hinges swing big doors.” – David Hooper

The best part of my day is…

When I get around my students and these young people 

keep me grounded and sane. I come to their table and they 

encourage me with their warmth and their talent. Their 

company is graceful, engaging and captivating.

They are like these 

unrecognized giants in my 

life that deserve a reservoir 

of goodness. 

They energize me. They inspire me to want to know more so 

that I can do better in trying to give them more knowledge 

that they can apply to their own lives and journeys. I never 

expected that you could learn so much through sharing your 

wealth of wisdom and experience. I actually give myself 

homework when I am around them; especially because I do 

not know so much about music. I am just a singer and was 

never really a student of music; though I would acknowledge 

the artists I listen to as my teachers. I only took one formal 

class series at Jazz Mobile which was over a three month 

span of time. I can say, the more I want to give them, the 

more research I do to find what I need to share with them for 

vocal health and for help with their music.

Thunderous acclaim is definitely suitable for how they propel 

me with sheer confidence. They truly bless my life in every 

way. 

This post was inspired by a writing prompt by Mamakat. So 

in the spirit of sharing my favorite part of day, please share 

with me yours.
