Good afternoon people. Today was a really good day for the kid here. I took a ride down to Spy Pond after breakfast with the fellas and brought my guitar and just played to the backdrop of the sparrows, trees, geese and wind. I just opened up and for some reason, with this accompaniment, it just flowed and sounded so good. It was hot so I didnt stay to long but it was so cool to be playing for just me and the outdoors. After I went home and got ready to go to my appointment with Janet and my class after. My appointment as usual focuses on me, but it also gave me the opportunity to see and pay out some of the lousy things that happened last week. It brought into focus my reactions and my decisions and for the most part.. There was a lot of growth, but there is still work and room for more. After in class we did a sort of role play thing where I played myself and another classmate played the other person. She was so good and real, I was almost at a loss for words, and when my teacher picked up the reins from her and took on the role I could see that a lot of my fears of things are of my own making.. And that I have a lot to be proud of in my life, and I also have a lot to give also. There was something else that brought me perspective and a humbling vibe. I was given a book from one of my classmates that she wrote. I asked her if I could read it and I was honored she said yes. I picked up this book and read it back to front and when I closed it at the end, I could see all the characteristics of this woman, who I can call my friend, in a lot of the characters. What awesome detail to bring you into the characters she wrote of and I knew that when I was reading it.. I was reading a part of her and her life. I got to tell her these things today and much more and I also know, being a writer, that sometimes we are our own worst critics of our work. It is when someone else reads it and familiarizes themselves with our work, and also may give us criticism that we realize the worth it brings. I have also been one to question my own ability, but I also have come to learn that by writing, or playing music, or making art, a little or a lot of what we are goes into that work, so there can be no thoughts of it being of no worth, because it is like saying, we have no worth.. And that just is not the case. She thanked me but I was really the one to be of thanks here. Because to let me into her world and to share in her creations, to me, is something to be very grateful for.. So I thank you my friend., Now I am going to put on some music and veg out for awhile. I hope the day brought you some peace and fulfillment and till later.. Enjoy the rest of it and thank you for listening.
