Sprung Spring

Starting this post without a direction.  It just felt like time to write here again.  I have been focusing all of my writing into my journaling and song-writing.  I am starting to think the rule of 10,000 hours is accurate as I feel much more confident in my music lately.  I can feel the flow and the beat in ways that I never bothered to listen to.  I can now see how, when I tried playing with other musicians, it was sometimes difficult as my own internal beat fluctuates wildly.  I have to tame the beat.   The keyboard and tapping my feet have helped a lot to keep me at least slightly structured.  Which, I imagine, makes it easier for other musicians to vamp off of.

Spring is here and it is so nice to start setting up the deck, the yard and the hot tub.  This winter felt long for me, although weather-wise, it was not that bad.  I am looking forward to getting out and biking, hiking, beach-walking and generally being outdoors this summer.
