A Happy Monday Frame...

Goal: Record and edit one show


I hope your Monday was happy and lite.  I am happy to report that my spirits remain lifted and I continue to be focused on healing and keeping myself open to the music of the world.  *smiles*  As I am typing this blog, I have O'Bryan playing in the back ground.  He was a wonderful 80's crooner having hits such as, "You and I," "Together Always," and "Lady I Love You."  His music sends me back to the days of slow dancing at the high school dances.  Aww Man!  Those were the days...


My day started slow and I was a bit unenthused, so I wasn't sure if I would meet my goal.  Hwever, by five o'clock, I had recorded and edited a feature show ready to submit to my GM.  Yay!!!  Although it is only a 2-minute feature, I am excited to be finding my wings again.  You see my goal/dream in 2009 was to get certified in radio/broadcasting and begin working in the field.  In September of '09, I finished my training and recorded a demo.  (Although I learned a lot, I feel like the program left some things to be desired.) Anywho, I was accepted in a program at ARN that would provide more hands on training and possible advancement but then life stepped in and kicked my butt!


I was ready to throw in the towel, but my GM was and has been very supportive.  She encouraged me to not give up.  I have been feeling guilty for months because I hadn't had the motivation, desire, or drive to work on anything. Admittedly, depression got the best of me and I felt suspended in time--unable to move one way or the other.  Thankfully, I am starting to move.


I will not be presumptuous and say life is now perfect and I have no more worries/troubles/fears.  I am not a fool.  Realistically, my life is still a rollercoaster and I am not sure when this particular ride will end.  And yet, I am thankful that God has opened my ears allowing the music back in.  He has given my spirit some peace.


So, my goal has been met and my day was pretty good.  In fact, my BFGFL informed me that she and my God-son will be in town from April 15th - 19th! (They moved to Ohio in Sept. '09.)  She has been my best friend for 19 years and I miss her DEARLY!  I can't WAIT!
