When No One is Looking

Seeing what had fallen in my bedroom last night. It woke me up, right before I entered sleep. It was a former journal I had propped on a shelf. It said, "Follow Your Dreams."

Playing Goodnight Ladies from Easiest Fingerpicking Guitar for Children - it was not easy

Different Perspectives - what someone else thought ruined a song (a slight note missed and the smile that came with it) was my favorite part

I stood still for a moment before coming in after shoveling. With the fresh snow and the muffled sounds and light, it almost felt I was inside, inside something safe and warm - in my front yard - in January.

To all the People who Do The Work When No One is Looking. I was thinking about this as I reluctantly convinced myself to exercise a little at 8:30pm tonight. Most people who are in shape, do the work when no one is looking. People who have long-time friendships, or marriages for that matter, do the work when no one is looking. People who are saving/investing/donating money instead of visibly spending it, are doing the work when no one is looking. People who can sit still or be in silence, are doing the work when no one was looking. I was connecting to all these people tonight, as I did some exercise, when no one was looking.
