WHY AM I STILL UP?????
I've just finished some office work, it's almost midnight, I've had to skip two of my plans for the night (restringing my guitar and doing a dance workout - :-( ), but I really wanted to write, so here goes. I know..... I'm setting myself up to feel like a dead duck tomorrow morning.
People are really strange - just when I think I've figured someone out, they do something that shows a completely different side. And here, you may be surprised to know, I include myself. I regard myself as someone who craves routine, likes stability, dependability, predictability...... but that's not who I am all of the time. I actually have a side that hates all of those things, and prefers more of a ''let's-see-what's-behind-Door-No.-Next'' approach to life. Truth!
Ooh, I can feel my eyes drooping, so I won't write for long. I just wanted to say that life is for the living, and however you choose to do it, be true to yourself, keep an open mind, allow yourself to play sometimes, and harm no-one.
I've struggled for most of my adult life to find that balance between work and play, and now, at age 56, I feel like maybe I've misunderstood the concept of balance - maybe I'm going to find my version of balance by swinging between the routine-loving and the chaos-seeking me. Ja, that's it - I do live a balanced life; I just attain it by regularly swinging from one extreme to the other. :-)
Happy to be alive, right now. How about you?

"If there's music inside of you, you've got to let it out." (From my song, Music Inside of Me)
I also do gigs - solo, duo or trio - so if you're looking for vocal-guitar jazz music to add a sprinkle of magic to your event, send me an e-mail to guitartrudy@gmail.com.
To listen to me singing one or two of my original songs, type my name on www.soundcloud.com or www.youtube.com
