Slogan: Living in the Present

Today I wasn't in the best of moods. There was nothing I could do about it and that made things worse. So, I went and got my hair done, it really needed it and it feels much better. I came back and sat down with my harp to work on the piece using both hands. Its hard to do right now because Ch'ng is very clingy and would love to just hang out on my lap. She really seems to need to be near me lately. Luckily, I have an over-sized wingbacked chair that we both fit into comfortably while I play music. She really likes it if I play for a long long time and she just relaxes into it.

I enjoyed the experience of sitting down and working away on the music the way I like to, as much time as I wanted to and a piece that gives me a bit of a challenge without forcing myself into a really difficult place and then knocking me when I don't do well. Think I need to learn to be a good friend to me.

For today the slogan means that I am thinking of what I have to do this day and when I am doing something that I focus on it with no desire to try to multi-task. I'm sure it will be a good way to approach many things in life but for now, just being able to sit down with music and totally focus on it till I look up and realize that I am done, is the best I can hope for.

Cheers, Meg
