Autumn

It has been a long while since I last posted, and for good reason, because I have been busy! In the last two months, I have attempted to join a band, performed in my first concert with The Choral Project, made a recording at Skywalker Sound, prepared for and recorded at least 10 holiday songs for a CD, and begun fundraising for The Choral Project's trip to Spain next year, all while hunting down and finally catching some of those..." job" things. Two, to be exact. I've had a couple of 50+ hour weeks in a row, so naturally I came down with a bad cold. My immune system always seems to fail me when I'm on a roll. In any case, I am enjoying being employed. Though I am working jobs I could have gotten without a degree (donut shop employee and housekeeper), I am thankful for what I have and I actually enjoy what I do. For one, both jobs are very physically demanding, so I get a workout at work. Also, I work for and with great people - seriously, among the nicest and down-to-earth I have met - and it just feels good to be around them. I am getting better at focusing on the present, rather than obsessing about the future or mulling over the past. I don't really know where my life is headed. For now, I am allowing myself to just "be."
