Happy New Year!

well...it's kind of funny how New Years often turns out. Tonight, I had no expectations or plans really. The only plan was that I was going to pick my husband up at the airport--finally home after a month long tour of Europe. All I cared about today was having a chill evening of homecoming happiness. Sadly for him, he is nearly incapacitated right now and is hopefully soundly sleeping... that after a month of not sleeping, being in an uncomfortable van followed by a long plane ride he is now home but with excruciating not moving kind of back pain. So with one hour of 2006 left, I am contently home, nursing my love as best I can. I have thoughts of a great year past. Enjoying a nice glass of wine and listening to the 3rd Haydn piano concerto...a new favorite. I have a really good feeling about the coming year. Of course you really never do know what life will throw at you, but I feel positive about this coming year. In fact, not that I was speaking of "resolutions," but my official new years resolution is to direct positive energy and light into myself and everything around me. Well, one day at a time...

The Procrastinator does what she does best...

It's unbelievable how many things I can manage to do INSTEAD of practicing. It seems simple enough? Sit down and work. Yet, I here I am writing a blog...about not practicing! No, it's not really going to be just about that. The purpose of this blog...well, truth be told, it really does feel like an inception of a brand new way to not practice. It is true that I am sitting at the computer and typing--and not working at the moment. But, I hope in the long run I will gain some insight as to why it is a struggle and how best to deal with it. Also, maybe I can be helpful to the many many other people who have trouble doing their work, practice, etc. So, if somebody out there in cyberspace is, like me, procrastinating their ass off and feels inclined to comment, advise, whatever, I welcome you with an open mind that is willing and hoping to change.
