The good news is, you only have to get your ass up to do ONE of the things from that positive cycle again, and you'll find it rejuvenating... it will be much easier to get back to the rest of it, and to feeling good again.<BR/><BR/>Not that I can talk. I haven't seen the gym in weeks (is it still there?), but I'm slowly clawing my way back to eating well.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7312100.post-28954354254643409962007-02-12T21:54:00.000-05:002007-02-12T21:54:00.000-05:00Ya know what?

Another book that I'd recommend (as a device to de-doldrumize you) would be "Emily of New Moon" or ANY L.M. Montgomery book. They aren't geared towards singers... but Emily experiences heightened moments of being that she calls "the flash." I think of these often in my life and my singing - and they seem akin to your posts about duende.<BR/><BR/>Furthermore - I'm sorry that your blog has had an unfortunate consequence, but it is also a treat for your devoted fans and fellow humanists. Keep up the good work - in everything!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7312100.post-30344259591418197512007-02-11T23:45:00.000-05:002007-02-11T23:45:00.000-05:00Um, pardon me, but...FUCKING CONGRATULATIONS!!!

I can't feel anything when singing, and it's getting annoying.<BR/><BR/>And about blogs and losses? I know first-hand what a blog in the wrong hands or read by the wrong person can do. I hope you don't stop blogging, though. I enjoy reading it! :)Scatterbrained Sealhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15919213407430362567noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7312100.post-35243767138505380222007-02-11T20:05:00.000-05:002007-02-11T20:05:00.000-05:00hmm, wondered what was up. sorry the winter blahs...hmm, wondered what was up. sorry the winter blahs have you by the throat.
