Hey ,

 

there's times in life when you have to stay strong.

 

 

Not because you want to of course... but because it betters another persons life.

 

 

It brings a sense of comfort to an otherwise uncertain situation.

 

This week my Mum was taken into hospital after a complaint with her leg.

 

Inside I'm scared and there's a voice saying "I can't lose both parents so close together" 

 

But with my daily visits I'm chipper, positive, even cracking jokes about how my mum is like a kangaroo, (hopping on one leg, to prevent damage to the other).

 

This constant putting on a brave face verses how I really feel is tiring.

 

 

Perhaps you've been through something similar.

 

How did you let out your true feelings about the uncertainty of a loved ones health?

 

I'm doing my best to share with Lucy and friends, but when I'm so tired of it, it's the last thing I want to talk about.

 

I am finding that belting out a few songs on my guitar certainly takes me away for a while.

 

There's such "in the moment presence" with playing music that you have no time for anything else.

 

There are many ways to escape this world.

 

And I truly believe that music and guitar is one of the most positive and life fulfilling.

 

There are many other "escapes" that take you up but leave you feeling lower than you did before.

 

 

If anything it helps me escape by giving me a deeper understanding of my feelings.

 

Because sometimes I don't really know how something is affecting me until I play or listen to a certain song. (Does that sound strange?)

 

Anyway that's enough deep statements for a Saturday morning.

 

Thank you for letting me share my week with you.
