Surgery and Music

I went in to hospital for day surgery yesterday, and have come home feeling like they took out my spleen and replaced it with an operating instrument. As I sit here with my heat pack on my tummy (Lily having gone off to high school with Paul for the day), I have been listening to my talented friend's music compositions.

Fancy actually being a composer! Claire Deak is a composer, and a humble one at that. I urge you to drop into her website - Claire Deak Music and Meanderings - and listen to the amazing music that she creates for SBS and other films/theatre. Claire, listening to your music today has been so soothing and comforting. Thank you beautiful girl.

For the rest of the day I am going to sleep and then hopefully wake and continue editing my book in bed. The yucky part (not the in bed bit, the editing bit) I would much rather just write.

I am currently reading 'Why People Fail' by Simon Reynolds and I am reading it in terms of writing my book and bringing its publication to fruition.

He sights these reasons as the most common reasons why people fail:

-lack of belief in yourself
-not knowing your purpose and therefore not planning ahead and seeing through the strategies and steps required to fulfill your purpose
-not making a commitment and factoring in time and routine
-lack of persistence

Seize everyday he says, even if your spleen is hanging out!

I hope you fulfill your dreams and see through your goals, in light of these pathways to success. We all have dreams. What are yours? I have come to realise after 33 years, that it's not arrogant to believe in yourself. Medication kicked in................ sleepy x o x o x..............................
