I have so many blog posts I’ve started and haven’t finished…yet. I have one on my final thoughts (final being relative) on the Whole30 diet I went on. I have one on general life as a freelance musician and how I have negative thoughts towards my own career because I allow other people’s thoughts too much credence. I have an unwritten one on the half marathon I ran earlier this month without really training, one on my thoughts on talent and music, and a couple other great ideas on well written blog posts…in the future. This is not one of them.

But who cares, right? This is my blog, and I’ll say what I want to. Tomorrow I plan to post about yogurt. Soon I will post about another local 5k that I want to help promote. I’m still running the contest about the Heart to Heart race on June 7 that you should enter.

My morning was spent helping to “score” a video that I’m helping a friend put together for an event. It was totally out of my comfort zone, but I’ve learned recently that I am much more capable on the violin and with other styles of music and coming up with just, well, STUFF off the cuff that I’d thought. I’ve learned, mostly, that I can do anything I set my mind to, and allow myself to do! I like to think of myself as Locke from Lost and no longer want anyone to tell me what I can’t do.

And I had a great weekend: worked my butt off for a variety of church performances, had a nice hike in the woods with friends, had a great dinner out at Basso and a few other wonderful home cooked meals, had lots of great conversation (I learned that I get very defensive of my alma mater and all that goes along with it!)

I’ve also learned that hiking in Missouri is mostly just walking in the woods. And that’s okay, especially when the weather is beautiful.

And it has been!

I keep saying I’ll be less busy soon, but I just keep saying YES to all manner of interesting musical projects and it just keeps being too busy. I’m struggling with balance at the time, but I’m okay with that. Right now my life is work heavy and a bit stressful, but I know there will be a time it is the opposite, and it’s important to think cyclically rather than day to day, at least as a freelancer.

How are you enjoying the lovely spring weather?
