Here Goes!!

Big taiko weekend coming up!  There's definitely a lot going on, and there has been a lot going on the past couple of weeks, it feels like, and it all culminates in the next few days!!

I have to admit, I was stressing for a while about everything and was losing sight of and my grasp on the joy in everything that's been happening.  Instead of enjoying and learning I was just stressing.  That can get paralyzingly frustrating.  But I've actually been able to gain some perspective and especially for taiko have found a new energy and excitement for all of it.  As a newbie this time around, this'll be my first (but really second) Rhythmic Relations concert, and I'll actually get some playing parts, which is more than I was able to say years ago when I did my very first.  I'm really excited to feel like a real team with everyone onstage and hopefully it'll show, you know?  I've been working hard and thinking hard and feeling hard the past month or so, and I think at this point I am ready to just enjoy myself because I deserve it.

Not to mention some fun trips will be coming up after this weekend, so it'll definitely be exciting even after coming down from all of that.  Time sure is flying by, and there will be a lot more to have to do, but if I can enjoy it, improve in TP and be a good teammate and taiko player, get all of my shit down with apps, continue to be diligent and productive at work, and be a good friend and partner, then life is beautiful.

Here's to having fun and dropping all negativity and drama for the next few weeks...and hopefully for the next whole month at least!!!!  Wheeeee!
