I'm back

I've been away from you for a while now. I was empty of ideas and enthusiasm.

Like an echo I've returned, having learned a little more about myself.  I've written previously about the power of music in my life. The almost barometric effect it has as a mechanism to feel positive.  I’d add to that rather short list of ‘me’, and place on it the ability to think on my feet well.  When I am pushed to do that, I invariably enjoy it.  Demand performances can seem daunting, but I’m unusually revived from the effort and it feels like exercising a long relaxed muscle. I’m guess I'm stronger than I think.

On top of that, there’s been good news in multiple directions – my family have each seen their own brilliances acknowledged, which drives a tremendously proud response. I've been patted on the back at work, and seen happy engaged clients that want more help. Then, as icing, my reward will arrive a little sooner than hoped. Karma indeed.

So, I’m back.  I hope you are too.
