You could see just a gray cloud with phone wires, or you could see the backdrop for new music…

I was going strong with hope, plans, a good day’s activities when my car wouldn’t start. My balloon popped: I don’t get paid until Friday, the money is tight, and all this stress just flowed out. But I did work out an interim plan, and tomorrow I will call the mechanic etc. Anyway I look at it I have to become even more motivated to get some extra cash Fast!

Hey the reality is it is winter and stuff like this can happen. This is not an uncommon type of story this time of the year. Simply finding a new roommate would reduce a dramactic amount of stress. So send some prayers this way and also for a reasonable cost to get my car going again. I believe in making new music.

I am grateful that I am not in several other places where things are even more difficult. Think for a moment about how you handle the bumps of winter? After all the hoopla many people sink, partly from exhaustion, and partly from all the emotions the holiday presented. It’s a time to have a comforter, hot tea, and a few quiet fun escapes. Some will let work do this, some will need more projects or just a lot of rest. I need to stay online so I can create new work projects.

The points become that we can create many options and choices to get through the unexpected and difficult circumstances.

I’m looking forward to your reponses to my previous few blogs. Also I need a list of 10 things to do after the holidays! What makes you feel good now in mid winter? Later. Support your local musicians!
