Tenacious Tuner

Symphonies are modern day miracles. I know that this is quite the statement but so many seemingly superfluous elements are combined in order to generate a myriad of emotions within the audience (call it a geek alert if you'd like ) Instruments must be meticulously tuned, the rhythm or count that requires attention or stuck like unto a suction cup,and the cut-co knife precision of first chair violinist showing the way.
Caitlin is a violinist with the makings of a first chair or concertmaster. This position is also the one that the rest of the symphony members tune their instruments to. After meeting her, I know that I'm trying to tune my life to follow the trail she's blazing. Caitlin is exceptional in the ability she has to make and work towards worthy goals. Example: with no extensive running experience, she thought it would be a great idea to do a marathon. The kicker for me was that the morning after our date she ran 20 miles as planning. So many good reasons to have changed that to a different day.
What an incredible feeling of satisfaction will echo in the thoughts of those who spent their lives in the realization of worthy goals! Thank you Caitlin for your attuning me to the good life.
