Yesterday I said #goodbye to the drummer in my #punk band. He'd been with us 4 years and was growing frustrated by a number of factors. I was very 😔 and it fell to me to break the news.
Its the season where i say goodbye to my tutees. It is surprising how attached you can get to people when you have never physically met them. #teaching
#loss is part of life. I feel it very keenly this morning (it's 5am). These people all bought various colours into my life and so I am #thankful However you spin it we are woven together somehow.
Know something I've learned over the past year or two? Being able to love something and not be angry about its flaws is extremely underrated.
Of course, you don't have to settle for mediocrity or compromise your morals, but not everything needs to be completely perfect to still be enjoyable.
This applies to every facet of life, from video games to current events to your daily routine.
Learn to appreciate the goodness and enjoy this beautiful life God has given us!
1. My daughter had a phenomenal softball game, getting two force-outs at home and an out at first.
2. Someone bought a copy of Debra Lee Won't Break from Kensington Row Bookshop
3. I'm not sore after my run yesterday.
Just busked for a few hours. Decent cash.
But, I was a dick to some guy who had been a dick to me. I shouldn't give in.
Either way, sorry, dude. I shouldn't have responded. I should have kept playing. But, I'm sorry.
Ok, Moving on now.
#conflict #inebriateddriving #fights #busking #thankful
PS -- Thank you to all of the nice people that say nice things to me when I'm playing.
1. Took my daughter to the orthodontist this morning and still got her to school on time
2. My garden is thriving in sunny weather that's not too hot
3. I'm encouraged by the progress I've made revising my WIP
