It's down time for performing, around the holidays, unless you perform background music. I don't do that much any longer. But I will if it seems right, if I fit the mood. It's morning and there is snow. I like the snow, it quiets everything. I lit the candle on my table. I need to start calling people for the day, they are waiting for my calls, to make future plans. I like plans, they keep things rolling and remind me that I have a future. If there are too many people to call back, I guess that is a good problem. But it does feel overwhelming to know I will probably never get to all of my phone messages. The list morphs, grows and moves over according to priorities for the day, the week, the month. Something or someone might drop off of the list. Someone may feel slighted. It's not personal. It never is. It's that there is only one me. One me...I"ll have to think about that some more. What should my "one me" do today?
