appreciation
Another week has passed us by, what did you do this week to write your history? Every action we do in the present becomes the mark we leave in our history, time doesn’t slow, it creates memories – good or bad – and the one’s that we need to keep focused on are the good ones!
Rutherford Rock Project played to a packed house at Cicero’s on Wednesday night… as the bartender stated, “this place is never busy on Wednesday night, you guys rocked!” It makes you feel appreciation for all of your hard work in putting together a performance, entertainment, music, that people will come together and enjoy. Appreciation also for everyone to take time out of their lives to come and enjoy some music and support us. Lined up waiting to get in to the show… what an awesome sight to see! Many thanks and much appreciation to all who came out to spend their evening with us. I would also like to show appreciation to the other bands that shared the stage with us Wednesday night, Trestle and Behlevue… they were generous enough to invite us to play with them and we are grateful for the chance to work together!
Appreciation… the next morning, our goal was reached, our album was released on iTunes (http://bit.ly/db7Lal). While this may seem a trivial thing to some, this is a goal that we set forth to accomplish, we worked hard and put forth effort and made this happen! When you are passionate about something, set goals for yourself and put into action the work that it takes to achieve those goals, you will find success, gratification and appreciation for reaching the objective! …and of course, we had to “spam” everyone we know about the release!
Appreciation… to my good friends, who stand by me no matter what twists and turns my life brings about. They are there to listen, to understand, to support and not judge. I love you guys… (you know who you are!)
Without change, we cannot grow and learn. A person for whom I deeply care and I have decided for change, we have decided that our paths in life, while we share many similar things, are bound for different destinations. We decided that what will be best for both of us to grow, is to follow our own paths. I am not sad, I am happy as I know that person will find much happiness down the path they choose and I on mine, and if we aren’t meant to walk the same path, then it better we walk apart to find our happiness! A friend I have not lost, a friend that I release to find happiness in their own way… much love and appreciation.
So as the weekend continues on, and week anew is just over the horizon… I’ve written some of my history here today, and will continue to write more history moving forward. I look out and see the sun shining, the blue sky, the world letting me know that it’s a brand new day, a good day, and it will become whatever I make of it, it’s in my hands! I’m happy for the people I have in my life, I’m grateful for the things that I’ve been given, and it all is received with much appreciation.
