Good Morning Peeps!
This early morning here in Nashville....the Music City....the temp was fairly cool but foggy as I headed out my door to Planet Fitness at 5:30a.m. after an hour and 15 minutes of working out....I was heading home with an extra boost in my step. Yes...I stuck with my 5 days of working out this week... OOH-RAH!
I have to say it feels really good to be back on track. Now if I can keep this momentum going and start to see settle changes. After all nothing can change overnight...it takes time, patience, and persistence. If any of my qualities are strong it would be in these areas, because once I set my mind to doing something.....I do it with passion. Now patience....can be a bit challenging but I consistently work on that one everyday. I know that it makes life less stressful if I use this tool in every area of me existence. So....for now I go with how I am feeling....and on a scale of one to ten.....ten being the high awesome number..... I have to say that I am feeling about a ten and a half. There you go! One positive foot forward to kicking off my Silver Linings for today.
Now it is well into the early morning as I have been dabbling around in different projects already. First was making this new poster and then I stepped outside to enjoy the light of a new day and hearing the sound of the birds singing. Which makes me think I should refill my bird feeder. I miss the bird sanctuary being so full of Life. Honestly I can't tell if it's winter or Spring trying to kick in with a mix of Fall like weather. It's so confusing. Still...I am enjoying what nature has presented to the world or should I say outside my window.
I have started to work on a new song and I am feeling like today is the day to play around with some more ideas. So far I am digging it and it is different than any of the others I have written.so this excites me even more. Speaking of music... Seems today is the Voice auditions here in Nashville. I'm betting downtown is hopping. I want to give a shout out to one of my Music Peeps Juju Crow Scott who drove all the way from Ohio to audition and I think it's awesome that he is stepping out and taking a chance on his music dream by doing this. I for one know that I am not Voice material because my talent lays in writing and performing my own songs and they want you to perform other peoples songs. So...that competition isn't in my path. I have great respect for everyone who has that talent and are going for it! It takes a lot of courage to put yourself out there. In fact just doing what I do takes a lot of courage. There are so many people like me who have that passion to create and get out there on the stage and share our creations knowing that we are opening the doors to criticism and judgement. Still....being the creative people that we are.....we do it anyway for the love and passion for our art. Peeps in my book that is an awesome accomplishment.
While winding down my Hazelnut coffee time and the cup is almost half full...I am going to close with this one Silver Lining thought.... Taking a chance on your Dreams and putting yourself out there is well worth it in the end. No matter the results. Because at the end of the day you can say....... I Did it!!!!! There you go!
Peeps have an awesome Saturday and I will catch you on the flipside!
