You Win Some

You Lose Some

But the important thing is... 

... you picked up your guitar today. 

Life Happens

There's no escaping it. 

Where once ideal circumstances existed...

... now exist challenges and responsibilities. 

Make the time to play guitar. To write. To be creative. 

But not at the expense of the things that are your ultimate priority. 

Family first always. 

Especially when taken out by the norovirus. 

Disinfect every surface, people. 

Or suffer the consequences.......

And then... you feel guilty

For not keeping your promise. 

For failing to pickup your guitar. 

For putting other things, less important things, ahead of the things you want to accomplish. 

Not everything can be pushed aside, but not everything should pull focus either. 

Go play guitar and write a mini song and get back on a creative crawl. 

You'll feel better for it. 

When You Do Things Even If You Don't Want To

 You might end up with something really special by accident...

Missed Days

Missed days are opportunities. 

To re-assess motivation. 

To re-assess discipline. 

To come to terms with how much you really want to make this a positive habit. 

How much do you want it?

Will one day turn into two turn into a week turn into a lost opportunity?

Or will you figure your shit out and get back to one day at a time?

Drums or Guitar

If I had to choose... I think I would pick guitar. 

If only because the guitar is logistically less annoying than the drums. 

Volume-wise, setup-wise, technique-wise. 

But... thankfully I don't have to choose. 

The Bare Minimum

Doing the bare minimum is better than doing nothing at all. 

Keep going. 

You can do it.
