In The End, Only Kindness Matters

It is VITALLY important to be courteous to people. Thoughtlessness, brusqueness, insufficient appreciation when someone has made an effort to be helpful - these are all deeply and profoundly hurtful, and unacceptable. They are also rarely the best way to get something out of someone incidentally; not that this is the point.

Do I fall short myself sometimes? Certainly.

But there are going to be a few changes around here. My tolerance of rudeness - towards myself and people I care about - is henceforth going to be Absolute Zero. And no-one in my life gets a free pass, no matter who they are.

That's it.

Touching Base

Man I've been busy. But it's all in a good cause.

I have found a little bit of time to tickle the ivories on the piano in my new house. I've really been enjoying it, and I think I will take lessons. I'm still quite keen to learn the guitar too.

I find the piano immensely restful emotionally, but also a technical and mental challenge. That is the key to harmony of the soul - not trying to switch off or tune out.

I'll try to post more often. Perhaps missives can be shorter and sweeter for a bit. That's better than not posting at all.

Also, various friends are trying to get me to join Facebook. I'm reluctant, but it may well happen.

Over and out,

T Bone
