Enjoy it as best as you can.

Today is my last day of break.

This summer has been one of the best summers of my life. It follows two of the worst summers of my life.

I’m living in the middle now. Things have gotten back to normal.

But the normal has changed. Large concerts are still not for me; I have discovered tiny venues and converted spaces and private residences and online vibrations that are breathing art. Finances are steady; not astronomical, not scraping-by levels…steady and middle.

Traveling to another country is always mind-shifting. This. More of this, please.

Health is good. I’m not winning medals (yet); almost every day is pain free (a blessing almost everybody takes for granted until you don’t have that), I can breathe deeply repeatedly without coughing (a thing we all take for granted until you can’t), I got a good nights sleep yet again on a comfy mattress and in relative safety (none of that is to be taken for granted).

I’m loved. If I disappeared, it would take half a day for two people to notice and about 24 hours before most people in my life would notice. Believe me when I tell you I don’t take that for granted.

So that’s what I mean.

There’s a lot of Being Here Now and Gosh, What a Sh*tstorm [insert headlines] is So What Can We Do, a lot of I Got This, a lot of We Gotchu, Gurrrllll.

Enjoy today as best as you can. I most certainly will.
