I have had a rather low key week and been at home for most of it. Working on music and related activity’s. My moods been Ok despite the damp weather triggering my arthritis.
I started very gently getting back in to my exercise routine this morning as though I am active I have missed it for a couple of weeks, mostly due to loosing the motivation as much as anything else. It does help physically and psychologically I feel. At this time of year I think it is an essential really. But motivation is lacking.
But I do have a Christmas tree, although a very small one. We will have no reckless excess in this house.
In a moment of madness I brought a new keyboard I last brought one in about 2013 so I guess it is excusable really. Nothing fancy but a useful additional to my arsenal both for recording and live performances. My new year resolution ought to be to get out and do the odd live solo live performance in the Bedford area occasionally. I am getting out and doing a bit of stuff with the other acts though of course. If I am spared (perhaps) as a reclusive local friend often says.
I have fallen in to a bit of a routine pattern recently. Most days I start writing a blog entry which seems to help keep my thoughts in order, or at least gets them out of my head where they tend to cause severe congestion in the synaptic pathways. Hopefully also helping me not to repeat the mistakes of personal history maybe?
Looking back at what could I have done differently in life, well there are loads of things with the benefit of hindsight of course, but perhaps it would not have been so much fun. But its all a roll of the dice when you look at , and often not too many rational measured decisions. Often there seemed to be no time to think then. Now there is too much time it seems.
