I tripped but I didn’t fall (well, not all the way down)
I went out Tuesday evening…miserable and full of apprehension…I came home feeling much better than when I left…Music heals, I forgot…even though it was (more or less) Music that brought me down in the first place…the last “sit-in” was the best…I think I’m back on track…and THAT feels good…will try to be optimistic about Wednesday–after all, I put the trash out already, yaay…the smallest victory is still a victory, right? I’ll hang on to that…
ADDENDUM–an acquaintance is hosting a jam session at her house tonight…I was gonna go, but really there’s no reason to…in order for me to get/be positive and therefore (hopefully) put out positive energy, I need to be where the positive energy is–her house is not that place IMO…maybe she feels that bullying ME is a way to get back at her “ex” for the way he allegedly treated HER…maybe she’s practicing on me so she can let loose on him at some point…she has said a lot of what *I* think are nasty things to me and I’ve just about had it…if she thinks she’s being “funny”, she needs to look that word up in a dictionary…
I know it is almost a cliche, but playing music DOES have tremendous healing properties, but if the place isn’t right, it isn’t right.
Heading down to a new place to play today that I’ve never been before. A nearby Senior Center hosts a ukulele circle. I’m guessing these are going to be folks who have been playing the uke since back when it was popular the first time, 1950’s, not since it’s resurgence as being “hip” again since the mid 2000’s….
yes it certainly does bro…been playin strings almost all my life… n banjo uke too ..gtr, fiddle [main instruments] also clawhammer banjo, mando, tenor gtr, ..etc etc.
