shift

I wonder what it would be like to spend an entire day doing what I want to do. And not in a scheduled-up kind of way. In fact, maybe not getting into a car at all, no specific time frame for anything. What would that look like?
I'm thinking Sunset magazine session, then some Pinterest-ing, drinking tea, going for a walk, sitting in the sun, painting toenails, doing some gardening, flipping through some cookbooks, heading down to the beach for a stroll, walking to the pub for a beer or glass of wine, reading a book (for pleasure), sitting outside some more, playing music, painting, watching a movie, swimming in a pool, soaking in a jacuzzi, more outdoor time, another walk, sunset watching…
It is a tall TALL order. But I think maybe it would energize me, revive me, relax me, and make me remember that ….
I don't know how to finish that sentence. Maybe I just try to do 2 or 3 of those things, and see what happens. I'm thinking attitude shift no matter what.

entertainment

As of late, I have been really interested in seeing live music again. Toward the end of last year, we went to see several bands and even went to a 2-day festival, and many artists really knocked my socks off! Inspired me to see more live music as it is one of my favorite things in life. Anyway, January started out with some great shows, and because it's the beginning of a new year, I figured I could actually jot down a year's worth of shows before I forget. This is what I have:

Rocket from the Crypt
Brian Regan

Lucinda Williams
