And the Beat Goes On

It's been too long since I've written. Life has gone on and what a good life it is. Old friends have moved on and I have made so many more new friends through music. Sometimes I have to pinch myself to make sure this not a dream. Many of our new friends have no knowledge about the story of our lives and sometimes that's okay. However, it feels like I am betraying my sweet sons memory if I do acknowledge his life. It's a conundrum. So, life today is pretty amazing. Not that my life was ever bad but it hasn't always been this great or easy. We have found ourselves traveling almost every weekend to see a concert...or two. The luxury of this freedom is not lost on me. I do not take it for granted. Having been witness to the fragility of life, I understand all too well how quickly it can be gone. Work is currently going well and I continue to enjoy what I do. I only half jokingly say that I work to travel because it's pretty much true. At this time, there are three music infused vacations booked and one more in the works. We both love to travel and we both love smooth jazz. If we can combine the two then it's a bonus. Music and travel makes us happy, it's just that simple. 35 years together and it feels like we've been giver a do-over. You rarely get do-overs in life so we are making it count.
