Sunday, March 2. Today was an interesting day. Had lessons in the morning and afternoon. Great students again, and good energy from me again. Those are good things. I am fortunate to have the job I have. There are surely worse things I could be doing! Later on I went running and was able to run 3 and a half miles in 40 minutes, well on my way to 5 miles in 45 minutes, which is my goal for the race at the end of the month. Chilled out later on my own, had dinner and some tv time.
Today was also interesting because I had the first relapse of sorts into some negative thoughts and emotions. But unlike in the recent past, I was able to handle the frustration and emotions, which were quite strong, all on my own and get to a good place. Attachment and resistance are persistent things. They are what they are though, and I'll let them be when they come.
My new thing for the day was to bring out the guitar. Seven or eight years ago I taught myself to play "Tears in Heaven" by Eric Clapton without any lessons or previous guitar experience. Couldn't even read music. Then I stopped. Today I actually brought out the book and learned three chords, A, D and E. Strummed them each a few times then stopped because it rips the crap out of your fingertips if you don't play often. The goal is to learn some more chords, learn to read music, then play songs that I like. That's all. I'm excited about it.
Lastly for all my readers, I need a name for my hat/fedora/apparel company. I am taking suggestions. I got one yesterday from an anonymous reader....Coop. Yes, that is the nickname I was given yesterday. Not bad. It is definitely on the list. So please send all ideas for cool names and post them. The more the better. I've been thinking about it constantly too and we'll have a name soon.
Thanks all. Peace, enjoy life, smile and laugh and love those you love!
