Daily Comment

Yesterday was so busy, wake-to-sleep, that I didn't have time to write a comment... That bothered me.

But when I thought about it a little bit, I was grateful. Very. You see, the worst problem I had yesterday was that I was paid to do something that brings me joy.

While it was in a place I consider the most tacky, plastic and soul-less place (Margaritaville) in the place I consider the most tacky, plastic and soul-less place in Syracuse Destiny USA Carousel Mall), if I closed my eyes, it was just me and a time-challenged folk-guitarist playing.

Concentrating on matching his internal sense of time kept me engaged and distracted me from my surroundings.

Even better, when we were done, I went out to an open mic, and played with an eclectic group of original musicians making music that was challenging and completely new to me. I heard it came out all right.

When I reflect on all this, I marvel how things have fell together for me here, and how I am enjoying such abundance and bounty.

It's a miracle. I believe in miracles, because I'm so grateful to be a beneficiary. Or maybe my belief in gratitude manifests itself that way.

Tricky, huh? Chicken or egg?

Diet Comment

If I ever really want to lose weight (again), something like yesterday's food consumption, consisting of Quest bars and eating at Core, would doubtless be the easiest way to do it. Not the cheapest, but definitely the easiest.
