Friday.

Sitting here listening to the tide come in and basking in a wee bit of sunshine as it comes through the window. Scanning for barges off in the distance and watching water slap up against rocks just off shore. Not a bad thing to have as inspiration for some of the things that light me up.

Water.

Feeling pretty quiet as I get ready to re-pack and head into NYC for The Living Room show with Amy Speace tonight. Full band gig which means tearful reunions for me. I really like the guys she plays with.

I have my stuff strewn all about one of the rooms downstairs as I ponder how to get everything ready to depart the NE and head to Hilton Head later next month. And the potential urgency of needing to get to AZ has me wanting to get my shit organized.

So much to handle emotionally this year.. and all of it challenges me in every way.

I will say this...  health issues that are big and scary get me more present to love and compassion.
