Trendy lives & terrible times

         I don’t know why things happen or what the plan is and I don’t what to know. I have a job that is amazing and comes with a lot of freedom. Lately I have been able to connect with new and old friends. In one day I was able to see an old friend that I have not seen 4 years and check out the nationally known recording studio he works at, have some great conversation about music and see a totally different side of music that I normally don’t get a view of. From there I left to go do a photo shoot with another long lost friend. It was a small adventure to find that perfect photo that could convey a deep message. Finally the night ended sitting in a small Thai place for some food and golden conversation about life, faith and being at peace.

       It is crazy to think how people can just walk in and out of your life. It is crazy to think how we are all connect in someway. Still we should look at the connections we have with people as a way to help them and not look at what they provide us with. We all need to look at how we can help and serve and not take.

Taking does not last forever, but giving and serving is eternal. 

As kids we all took lessons of some sort. Some music lessons, dance, art…the list could go on. Many of use took piano lessons or some type of music lessons. We would spend hours practicing, working and trying to get better at something that in  years to come it would be something we have totally forgotten.

I was driving in my car yesterday listening to Wakey! Wakey! I heard some amazing piano parts. I thought to myself about when I used to play the piano. I wonder if I could still play…I wonder if I could still read music like I once was able to….After not playing the piano or reading music for six years I found that it was gone…all gone. I could only play one or two things and could not remember what keys were what note or what the sheet music said. I have lost it. 

It makes you wonder why did I even learn that in the first place to have years pass and it be gone like that? Why all that time spent to add up to nothing? Why? 

Who knows…No one can tell use why we do the things we do. Still I look it like this, I was able to do it once before, so I will be able to do it again. 

You just need to have the willingness to try, and you will succeed.
