Comfortable

Friends,

I love fall. I love the smell, pumpkins, clothes, sunrises, sunsets, warm colors, change, leaves. I think most of my family and friends are tired of me going on and on about fall but they all seem to agree what a relief it is after our hot texas summers.

This week I was thinking about life and how it is full of: hard work, hardships, health issues that remained unresolved, war, hurt, disconnect from people you love, fear, doubt, noise and the list goes on. Have there ever been times that it just all hits you?

Ask people what they want most in life...you'll get varied answers but most will probably choose "a comfortable living". I guess that hit me more so this week...the word "comfortable". Where is that point? so I find myself continuing to work towards becoming "big and known" and then will I be "comfortable"? It just got me thinking...

Here and now. Yesterday, was a beautiful fall day. I got to meet a new person who shares my love of music and is coordinating a gig for me, run off to play music at a wedding rehearsal, meet up with a friend to make music which turned into partaking in a nice conversation outside in fall and then having a late night talk with some friends.

As a result, I have more music work, places to be, being bitten by mosquitoes that seem to love me more than I love fall, and a little sleep deprivation but I'm quite content.

Casie, what would make your life most comfortable?

A. being famous someday
B. having a beautiful house with a music room and wrap around porch someday
C. get some music and books published someday
D. soaking in the here and now
E. still puzzled with this word "comfortable"

Yep, gotta go with E. Alright friends, I also gotta go and get ready to see some newlyweds off with wedding musak!

Your truly,
C
