#60DaysofHappiness Day 47

As part of my coaching, my coach took me through a forest bathing exercise at Lafayette Reservoir. Feeling calm and grounded, despite the sadness and difficult feelings.

The last persimmon. They've held up since mid-November (my first post in this challenge, so... 45 days)!

Still catching up on my gratitudes backlog.

Helped my college friend and his gf move from Santa Cruz to San Mateo.

They're no closer, but I'm happy they're not going to be farther away -- and it turns out they bought a condo! They'll have room to host game nights!

A day of music theory, piano (more triad chords), and some digital audio workstation learning.

Itching to get to some composition/applied theory stuff, but I'll be patient. There's a lot to learn.

They're reskinning Hangar One at Moffett Field. It was sad (but also kinda neat) seeing its skeleton the last few years, but I was worried it would degrade due to weathering.

I'm glad they're fixing that now.

I got pretty behind on this challenge, but I'll try to catch up.

On New Year's Day I was able to spend some more time with my friend Darcy over in SF. The Indian pizza we had for lunch at Al Hamra was pretty solid.

A long walk with Meadow, the pup I'm petsitting, out to Bay Farm Island.

The view was pretty good.

Music homework. Learning scales and chord progression.

The sadness has been strong, and motivation fairly low, but I did complete the assignment.

Next up: play them on the piano, and then tackle chord inversions.

Did it again. Missed a day, so doubling up.

#60DaysofHappiness Day 38

Went to a dinner hosted by my oldest friend (longest friend?) Darcy (et alia).

Looking forward to seeing bim again on New Year's day and catching up.

House and petsitting for my brother and sister-in-law for a few days while they're visiting relatives.

This good girl has been keeping me company. There's also a cat and 4 chickens.

I'm still working my way through these persimmons over a month later. They've held up well, and are really good in cereal.

Only four left to eat--glad I haven't had to throw any out.

Grateful to my friend Mitch, who's volunteering as my music teacher. Brain's a bit melted, and I have a lot of practice to do.

I've only taken one keyboard class ever, over two decades ago, so I'm really starting almost from scratch.

So, it's taken me a while and I'm late to the party, but I just finished Season 1 of Arcane and whoo, yeah, caught some tears there.

I hear Season 2's quite different but I want to go in blind aside from that.

My friend's been helping me understand and set up music software.

Now...to try my hand at composing something...🫣

Beautiful drive on the backroads on the way to a holiday party gig.

Grateful that I have students hiring me to dance over the holidays, to make up for the lack of regular business this time of year.

A walk, coaching and meditation with a friend at Shinn Historical Park in Fremont today.

Despite the overcast and chilly weather, things felt slightly brighter today.

Getting rid of stuff that wasn't selling on eBay. Time to ditch some of the clutter!

Trying to get back into guitar, and maybe even try to write something, which would be a first for me.

Normally I wouldn't announce such a thing publicly until I had something to show for it, but this is an effort to push myself to produce something.

Missed another day of #60DaysOfHappiness, so I better double up again. Day 28

Costco cheese pizza and cider at the end of a long day, a long week, and a very very long and difficult year.

I'm grateful I have a cozy, warm bed to collapse into at the end of a very long day at work.

Many, many folks aren't so lucky. It's cold out there tonight. I hope they can stay warm.

Whoops. Looks like I missed #60DaysOfHappiness Day 26. Guess I need to double up.

Honestly, it's been a pretty tough few weeks emotionally. I feel broken, but I guess I'm glad I haven't totally fallen apart.

Attended a friend's choir concert this afternoon. All of the performances were extremely impressive!

It made for a good break from work, since I was teaching/dancing in the morning/early afternoon and at night.

My student gifted me some very tasty soup this week. Finishing the last portion tonight. It's always noce to feel appreciated.
