Accepting My Fate...

Almost a week now since my tragic fate, being fired from the band I had been with for the last 2 and 1/2 years.  It definitely feels like a breakup, and my heart is heavy,  but I'm slowly coming around to accepting my fate...

and what now?

The only thing I can do is accept it and move on with my life.

Will I continue to perform and play music?

I'm not sure!   The free time gives me a lot of room in the day for practice and to get even better than ever before.   And right now I am practicing drums and exercising just to stay in shape so that my body can handle the "stress".

The stress is there,  I can't deny it.   Being without a job and no severance pay is very, very stressful and is definitely a challenge to the mind, body and spirit.

I had a great talk with my wife last night...

She definitely is encouraging me and making me feel more positive about my situation.

I keep thinking of the Peter Gabriel song, "Don't Give Up",  and how Kate Bush's vocals are like an angel...   it's reassuring to hear the song in my head.

I've been gardening around the house and watering,  and fertilizing the plants.   And I've been walking and exercising more to get in better shape.

I feel much better than yesterday.
