It's kinda late and I just got home. 2:17 to be exact and I just got home. On a ... Wednesday! I've felt super blessed through this week. It's almost like planted trees are beginning to bear fruit. Amazing. Each night of the last 3 days getting home well after midnight I think to myself how good it feels to play music and then I think about how great it feels to be playing with the guys I am. It's allowed for these crazy nights of mission into the city, bro-ing down and making some magic and coming home pretty content and fulfilled. Music has kept me going multiple times in my life. When I felt like I had nowhere to go and I was stuck I turned to music and it always did me well. If I was ever having problems getting up in the morning, it must have been on days when there was no music going on haha. I think the energy I get from it keeps me going through the late night drives etc.
Newly reinstated with high success is my morning walk/run. Yeppers, it's small, not a huge amount of exercise but it works better than coffee to turn that morning mushy grey matter into something I can use. Today was pretty fantastic, some of that fruit we were talking about. I woke up at 7, went for a walk and did a little running but not too much. I try not to exert myself on mornings when I have practice. It makes things harder to play than they should be. But I was able to get back home and be working by 8:30. The other pretty sweet thing is that I was at it straight until 1:30 without breaks or anything like that. The next thing I have to work on is prodding my brain again around lunch time so it doesn't fall asleep at 3:30 like it did today. I was fighting that 3pm wall so hard. I didn't give into a nap though. Felt really good.
The other super sweet thing about the morning is that it's pretty quiet in terms of people noise. You can hear lots of nature, trees in the wind, squirrels running about, and chirping birds. I use that all as the background for my time with the big man. It's a nice way to start the day.
Anyway, I'm putting dents in the mound of work I have and it feels amazing. Productivity continues tomorrow so I'm going to arm myself with some great zzz and crazy dreams.
Peace, love and rock,
J
