Well yesterday was a down day due to my back not behaving (actually I didn’t behave and it let me know). I did get to have fun with my viola at the end of the day.

This morning I actually got the material for Graffiti Quilt 1 cut, and rows and columns labeled, while listening to Linda Ronstadt, Mary Chapin Carpenter, Carly Simon, Helen Reddy (My theme song), and Rita Coolidge. Then I made us some egg salad for sandwiches for lunch. 

Now I am chilling on the sofa with a hot cup of coffee. That is a bit of an oxymoron. Gotta love oxymorons. After that, I will have fun with my Rudolph (violin). 

Yes, Helen Reddy has my theme song. “I Am Woman” (Here Me Roar). Love it. I wanted to play it for my wedding song. No go. When we got married we had to meet with my husband’s priest, he was Catholic, not me. Well, I told that priest, do not include “obey” in my vows because it is not going to happen.” Oh my gosh! He about split his gut laughing. After he stopped laughing he said that it isn’t in the vows anymore, back in the mid 70’s. It would have been such a hoot having “I Am Woman” played in the church. I should have stuck to my guns.

Saw one concert of Helen Reddy’s back in Nov 1973. My sister and husband were in CA and I visited and we went to a concert. She did fantastic concerts.

Well my coffee has cooled. My Graffiti Quilt #1 will not get any more work done on it today unless I do my violin first, so I should get cracking. 

Probably kind of weird I did this post, but coming to this site, and reading posts or actually posting, gets me started and inspired, and gives me that, “I can do it” feeling. Which brings up this question, what gets you started or inspired to do your instrument?
