So today was my first "day off" since I quit lessons. It was pretty good considering. It was nice out, so I went walking. I also did tai chi when I got back. I made me realize something. I don't just do those things to get or stay healthy, because at this point it doesn't matter. I just plain enjoy doing them. I feel better after and it's somehow easier to deal with things.
While I was in the shower I got a good idea for a short story. It's me telling my daughter a bedtime story. It's an interesting idea, but it seems pointless and it's kind of depressing, so I doubt I'll actually write it.
Probably the most important thing I did today was make a list of all the things I want to make sure to do before I die. I do want to leave behind somekind of legacy, so I thought about what's important, but also practical. First I thought big: I don't think I can finish my whole epic in one month, but if I work my ass off I should be able to finish my book. The piece for the URI Concert Band is also too big but the piece for Anthony's school should be doable. I'm not going to bother applying for that grant and I probably won't get to the Chakras Suite or the Planets piece for chorus. I might leave behind sketches and instructions for how I was going to do it in case someone wants to finish my work. I want to finish reading the Ancient Secrets of the Flower of Life book and hopefully get to Volume II. It's turning out to be one of my favorites. I don't want to read anymore comics without finished storylines. As it is, I already started Civil War, and I'm not going to see how it ends. Oh, and I also want to finish watching season 2 of Lost and season 5 of Smallville. I do want to write up some sort of will and write a letter to Mom and maybe a few other people I'm close to, so they have some sort of explaination. And just so I can say "goodbye."
