Rest

Don't you find that you don't really begin to feel rested until you've had time away from work and time to get caught-up with errands, jobs and responsibilities? Today was one of those days where I was able to really feel relaxed and enjoy it.

Playing the guitar does wonders for me. It leaves me mentally and physically and emotionally recharged. I think it's a combination of the physicality of the instrument, the concentration and mental focus (that blocks out all the concerns of the day) and the sounds.

There's a rich sense of satisfaction when I've mastered something that I have been working on or trying to understand for a while or been able to apply new improvisational ideas.
