I suppose that I am a visual learner and so this analogy really appealed to me. I thought about my own family and what part of the orchestra we fit into as well, and we "harmonize" with the world around us. I'll spend some more time with this analogy because it occurs to me that we don't harmonize well in some places, and I'm rather glad that our "music" is a bit different. Thanks for sharing.

We love listening to classical music and have close friends whose children all play strings. It's a great analogy for a family to make sweet music together. May we all be doing our part in the orchestra. Lisa V.’s last blog post..Word-filled Wednesday - Brute Beasts

I love the analogy! I tend to forget that I set the tone for the rest of the family. Good thoughts (you, too, Marsha!). Bethany L.’s last blog post..It's That Time Again

What a clever (and true) analogy! It really is true that I set the tone for my family. And it is always interesting to see which child will be the cellist. One thing is for certain-- our family is much more beautiful and interesting with the complexities of each individual. How boring it would be if we were all the same, all the time!
