Absence, Loss, 2010

I’ve been away from my blog for a while now. Significant things in my life happened and changed things that made me not want to write anything or play any music for a while. I lost a close family member recently that just took me away from pretty much all that I enjoy. I took a break from doing anything musically and really didn’t do much “fun” whlie I digested all that had gone on, yes I picked up a guiar and on occasion played the piano but only as a way of relaxing or distraction, nothing serious or structured, or even with thought behind it.  2010 has now arrived and anyone who reads this is of course wished a happy new year, with the poor performance of my own personal goals in 2009 and my own family loss I feel I failed and in general not had a good year. I have raised the bar in some areas for 2010 and lowered some in an attempt to be more productive and progress further with my goals. I’m not really someone who makes new years resolutions but this year I’ve set myself a few, I’m not going to open them for discussion, reading or critisism as they are personal to me. I will update at the end of the year in how I got on.
