Reminder to Self: Music counts.
Almost every free moment I have had the past few weeks has been spent in one of two ways: 1) Purging my apartment, getting rid of every single thing that I don’t really, really need. My goal is to be able to see under and around every piece of furniture without having something stashed there, and to have clean closets and no boxes filled with mystery contents. 2) Doing music.
I found myself feeling sort of bummed or guilty for not doing anything creative lately. I fall into this trap all the time when it comes to music. For some reason I don’t count that as a creative activity. Hence the reminder to myself.

Yes, Yes! Music does count. My big debut on an album came out this weekend. . . it is incredibly hard not to totally dis it. So hard to just let it be and appreciate it for what it is. Such is that pesky monkey mind. Good for you for your reminder!

that’s a fabulous goal; getting rid of everything you don’t need. i wish it was that easy for me. i’m such a pack rat. i keep everything because i might could use it someday in a collage or something… often i think if i could get rid of everything i’d feel so light and free that i wouldn’t know what to do with myself!

I love that green wall!! Do I ever understand the desire to be rid of all of those little things that stand in the way of free space. Did you see the 29 Day Giving Challenge link on my blog? It’s a really cool project where you can chronicle your experiences with giving stuff away.
And of course music counts!
