1st day of summer break! Aiming for a good balance of relaxation and productivity, as there are things I need to get done this week. So far it's working out.
Ended up at this awesome little karaoke spot that isn't even on Google maps tonight and had a blast. I really hope I manage to follow through with going back soon.
The older I get, the more range in age of friends I have. I have friends in their 70s and in their 20s at this point. And you definitely shouldn't feel embarrassed about learning something new when you're older. How boring would it be to only know the same things we did when we were 20 for the rest of our lives?
My week's been going well! On the downside my therapist who I really loved left the practice (she took a job helping sexual assault victims in the Marines, so good for her, that's some important work), and I've been put on a wait-list. But I feel like I'm in a place right now where, although I don't think it would be good for me to stop therapy long-term, I can maintain alright while I'm waiting, and that's pretty cool. Also the choir I sing with had a couple of super successful performances this weekend, and it felt really great to be part of that.
In addition to some of the other things mentioned here, I set my alarm early enough that I'm able to take my time getting ready in the morning. Having a little bit of quiet time to myself with a cup of tea really helps set the tone for my day.
Same. I'm 37 and I do regular playlist exchanges with my dad's 70 year old friend (my dad passed away a few years ago and both of us strongly connected to him through music, so we decided to keep that going through each other). We're both constantly seeking out new music.
Update: Fire pit time. It's been too long. Drinking a lovely sour IPA to go with it.
