I go back to that statement more often than not at this stage in
life. Today, after several weeks of waiting (due to schedules and high
service orders), heat was turned on in my house - more accurately, the
gas. You never realize, when coming out of warmer times, that the lack
of this sometimes forgotten necessity can cause such discomfort. I do
hate the cold. I spend a great deal of time in my home, so freezing is
not an option. I love the smell that omits as the initial dust is
burned from the vents - makes me think of cold cloudy days and a hot
cup a tea. Ah... the simple things.
This year's been full of anything but "the simple things", which makes the appreciation of such, so tangible.
I'm mid-way through a week of deadlines and "pushing forward". The
covers EP & holiday single dropped yesterday and I'm pleasantly
surprised at the reception - the faithful few truly are an amazing
group of folks. I'm torn between my small steam ahead and hunger to do
something beyond this whole music thing. All we have at the end of the
day, in this life, is our connection - who we impact - how we touch. I
sometimes feel stuck at mediocre when all I crave is great. I'm
learning to accept the metal instability of a creative ;)
Today I'm hunkered down at camp write-a-lot. I have several songs
yet to finish before recording vocals tomorrow and Friday. I don't
think my slight case of heartsick is helping matters much. I'm missing
people - several "come once in a lifetimes". The sap in me is in full
swing - back to work.
