And so.. and so... summer is here! It felt like a long wait for the summer weather to catch up with the calendar. Now that it's here I find myself concerned that I'm not going to get in everything that I had planned to do... sailing, camping, picnics with friends, outdoor plays and concerts, roadtrips, barbeques, etc. I'm finding it difficult to settle into relaxation and fun this summer because I'm feeling so wound up with NEED. The need to move forward with music, the need to carve out a bit of success for myself.
My head has been spinning on this subject for a while. Finally last weekend at the grocery store I stopped thinking long enough to sit down and get a massage. Yes, at the grocery store. I LOVE the grocery store! I was so bloody tense, but in 10 minutes the talented lady with the talented hands and me perfectly, perfectly relaxed. Perhaps no further in my musical endevours, but at least I could look kindly on the world again.
I think I'm going to have to go visit her again this weekend! I just have to settle down and accept that August isn't the best month to be trying to get some recognition. Lots of emails and promo packages go out, but there's very little feedback. I assume its the time of year. I don't want to be at my desk either. My porch and my hammock are calling. I want to be in a tent, or thinking about what to burn over the fire for dinner, or in the ocean floating on my back.
I've got some shows coming up... I'll do what I have to to promote them. I'll send out orders too. But other than that, I think I'm just going to take it easy this August. I need to regroup, to re-create. I need to enjoy this weather while it lasts. There will be time enough for work in September.
