Birthdays

I pretty much took the day off yesterday, in celebration of my birthday. That is the reason no blog was posted. Birthdays are strange times when you reach my age..........depressing on the one hand because you realize so much of your life is over. I have gone through many really horrible times in my life, so I should actually be thankful to have made it through all that and to have reached this age. At times, I am kind of amazed that in spite of too many surgeries to count and all the pain I have lived with since I was born, that I am actually still here, keeping on keeping on.

The good part about birthdays, even at my age, is the realization that so many friends care enough about you to remember your birthday and wish you well. I am extremely grateful for the friends in my life, who have gone through so many of the bad and difficult times with me; and for my family who has been a part of them all, who has stuck by me, made accommodations for me when my physical limitations have been a problem, and who take on additional work doing things for me, as well as what they need to do for themselves. A great deal of credit goes to friends and family that I have managed to reach this age..............No, it's not 80, 70 or even 60 - -- between 50 and 60 - - but at times it seems like 100!

Positive Responses

We have received some really nice responses from other MySpace musicians who we have invited to become our MySpace friends. It is exciting to me to read positive comments from people who have never heard of us, but after checking out our web site or MySpace page, really compliment the music. Of course, I have nothing to do with the music, except uploading it onto web sites. I know it's wonderful - I tell Andrew that all the time. It makes me feel good when others like it as much as I do, and I'm sure it must be very satisfying for Andrew to hear the compliments from his fellow musicians. I will continue contacting people, inviting them to be our friend. It is a slow process, but rewarding to have people who truly appreciate the music and the concept of music2work2, responding so positively.

Update

Hope everyone had a nice Passover or Easter holiday. Even though the weather felt more like we should have been celebrating Christmas, Easter was a time for good food, and fellowship with family and friends.

My work continues on MySpace. com - getting new friends for music2work2. The new design for our MySpace page is coming along and should be up before long. It is going to look terrific so be sure and watch for that.
