another blog for those who care

I know hardly any of you know me on here and that's okay. One thing I have suffered from since I was a kid has been Seasonal Affective Disorder (S.A.D.) For most, it's the winter that bums us out. A few will feel like this in the summer when heat and humidity is a killer. I personally dig the heat (but humidity makes my hair frizz real bad!) The past couple of winters had been pretty mild so I wasn't affected as much. This year, forget it. I lost all drive/motivation/desire for a lot. Thankfully I love teaching, as my students bring me great joy, and they enjoy seeing me as well. We are all tired of Zoom/Skype, so here's hoping that whatever "normal" looks like, will come back soon.

And a few people have asked me on other social media sites, "What's going on with the music?" I have decided to take an approach called admirable restraint. Yes, I was not happy with the way things were going so I stopped. Was not about to spoil the vibes and throw the baby out with the bathwater. I had put the songs away, left them to simmer for a few weeks. In the past, it would have crushed me to do such a thing. Now I am older and wiser, and realize that the songs are not going anywhere, they aren't vanishing in thin air. I returned to the songs recently, and found myself appreciating most of them again. But am I ready to record? Not yet. The heart is not totally there.

But it always comes back eventually!
