stuff - back and forth
I have always wanted to play a flute. The problem is I don't feel naturally musical. I have a 5 year question-a-day book that every year asks the question, "If you were in prison what would you do with your time?". And every year I answer the same thing - I would learn to play the flute. It's stuck in my head I guess. When I was in 4th grade the school offered music lessons but the only instrument they would let me play was the coronet. A trumpet! Not my style. I always feel like if I had got a flute maybe it might have happened for me. Time's running out. Now or never. But I doubt myself - will this just be a waste of money and one of these things I do - get excited about something but then let go of it cause it is hard? I guess I won't know unless I try it. Some things do click.
So many things are like that right now for me. I also want a new bike - a recumbent trike. I met a couple on the bike trail a couple months ago and she let me test ride hers. I feel like I fell in love with the idea right then. It was like riding a little fun go-cart. Felt safer. And she said she can climb hills really easy (with her model - her husband's was not very good on hills so they are not all the same).
All this wishing and hoping and wanting is not conducive to serenity though. Staying in the present moment with what I have is what I need to strive for. Need to do an etsy listing today - then I would feel like I am doing my job - doing what's in front of me...
Later...
Here's a listing:
"Seek the Silver Lining" - sterling, labradorite and lapis lazuli HERE
This is an older piece - finally getting around to listing it.
