Time in Perspective

Tasks seem so overwhelming when time is restricted, give time in abundance and you realise that it wasn't a lack of time but your perspective towards it that provided both stress and unproductiveness. I don't need all this time, i can do what i need to do and work full time simultaneously. However this week off is not something i'm regretting, i'm loving the time to both relax, do what i love and be productive. I had my first chance to really spend a long time in my studio yesterday and i loved it. I rewrote and recorded a song by Manchester Orchestra called "Jimmy He Whispers". I loved having the freedom to experiment without expectation of results and the chance to play with harmonies and effects. It's exciting to think that that's now my studio to use forever and i'm sure the product of that will hit your ears in good time :)
Though with all this time to reflect, though i do realise i'm happier than i've been for a long time, i really miss home. i miss family and the fact that i don't get to see them so much anymore, and when i do, with not living at home obviously you have a different relationship. My families so spread out and we all are so involved in our individual busy lives where we are that i think we sometimes fail to remember each other, i am definitely guilty of this. I would love to meet up frequently with my mum and my siblings and just catch up, but truth is it's just not possible, i will try and just be grateful for the times i do get to see them. i also miss the country side, being able to go for long walks with pleasant scenery, contemplate life and often find myself open to creative inspiration. But enough about what i miss, i love life here, i am loving my week off and i shall go now to do some more recording.
Peace be with you friends.
