Happy fourth of July

Happy 4th
I was at my son’s house yesterday for our family get together, we celebrated my daughter’s birthday, my wife and my 34th anniversary, and the 4th of July. It was a great time. At one point when I was swimming around in the pool I actually felt happy. Really happy. That gives me some hope that I am getting better. It was just last week when I felt like shit on a Saturday. This week has been one of steadily getting better. I hope that it keeps up. I am feeling pretty good this morning.
I think that I am realizing that there is still a good and happy part inside of me and that I may be able to experience that more and more as time goes on. There are two things that are still out there that I want to get back into. One of them is exercise, I may go to the gym once this week. The other is studio time, I have some mixing and mastering that I have to do today. I want to do more studio work with other musicians.
As far as guitar playing is concerned, I am still too upset about losing my guitars to get excited about playing the guitar. I am going to let that come back naturally. I was talking to a friend who said that it took him two years to come back form having his guitars stolen. I know exactly what he means. I don’t like the replacement guitar that I have and I am not ready to look for a guitar that I could fall in love with. So for guitar playing and performing, I am not ready yet. I am still just really angry about the ass holes stealing my guitars.
But I would say that over all I am healing up.
peace
