Things Get Emotional Sometimes

Things get emotional sometimes, especially when your emotions are open as they are when you are
an artist. And they become overwhelming.  This just happened to me.


This past month I've been reminded of how fragile life is.  How someone can be here with us in this world and gone to the next.  Elba Berruz passed this month, a political leader for the Ecuadorian community.  I had the great opportunity to meet her and work with her and get to know her.  This loss opened old wounds, my Mother's death which tears me up, my Grandma's death.

I didn't want to do very much.  I stayed indoors for a couple of days, my dog was great motivation to get up.  That is what I do when things get a little emotional sometimes.  Today during the Grammy's broadcast a tribute to Glen Frey, from the Eagles, was performed.  They played, Take It Easy the first song I learned to play on Guitar.  Paul Mayer had passed last year, my great friend and awesome guitar teacher came to mind. He taught me to play guitar and he made it fun.

I remember all 30 some folks in class playing our guitars and singing simultaneously.  It was so fun. I still have some good friends from that class.

I realize life is precious.  And I ask myself, am I living?  or, Am I just looking at other people live their lives.

Sincerely,

JC
