MeloManiac Posted January 9, 2022 Share Posted January 9, 2022 Some of you may have noticed there were fewer of my posts of late. This doesn't mean that I haven't been listening to vinyl records. In fact, my Leben CS300 has been working double shifts as an amplifier and as a room heating device. The reason is that, being a writer (some of you probably have figured out that's what I do, next to teaching), I've been working really hard on my novel. I've come to a particularly 'heavy' section in it, where the inspiritation in part comes from my personal life. Yesterday, I literally caught myself fighting against my tears as I was reliving a wake for a friend of mine who died fifteen years ago in a car accident. This wake (memorial reception) had a profound effect on me personally. In the presence of my friend's parents, his wife and young children, I totally crashed and wasn't able to speak or move for about 30 minutes. So yesterday, I used this very personal experience for my novel, and it all came back, even now, when I'm writing this post on this form, tears are welling up. All through my life, music, especially listening to vinyl records, has been an emotional outlet for me on moments when things get a bit rough. This morning, during my oldest soccer match, I paid a visit to a local record store. This is what I got, to weapon myself for the next Melo-moment: 5 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MicroMara Posted January 9, 2022 Share Posted January 9, 2022 @MeloManiac It is good to give free rein to one's feelings, this does not happen in vain and frees internally from a subconscious burden. Many lyricists use these moments to express particularly emotional moments in their writings. It´s a blessing. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This wake (memorial reception) had a profound effect on me personally. In the presence of my friend's parents, his wife and young children, Someone young, leaving a young family behind is particularly shocking; even when someone is older and has been ill, it's still tough. I've lost almost the entire generation ahead of me in our large family. Many lived into their 90s, others 70s. Fortunately none died in accidents. 44 minutes ago, MeloManiac said: I totally crashed and wasn't able to speak or move for about 30 minutes.

Try to avoid putting yourself into a negative feedback loop. Eyes forward, keep moving. Try to have some personal goals for every day, week, month and year. And check off the successes every day. Reflect on your accomplishments each day, and move to the next task. - Yesterday I sorted out, categorized and boxed approx 1000 Cds I acquired from a DJ and a Professional singer who fronts multiple retro bands. Two great collections one New Age, the other Rock-Pop. I typically listen to 100 new CDs each year, so I have my work cut out for me. - Last year, my garden goal was bananas in Chicago, plants achieved 3-4 meters, but no bananas - Previous year it was 5 meter sunflowers 72 of them , achieved. - Haven't decided on a goal for this summer yet, need some inspiration.... - I thought with the high gas prices, this year would be good for purchasing a 4 wheel drive gas hog. No one is selling, and those coming to market are high miles, in rough shape.... TBC Every day I ask my 96 year old mother the same question on the phone, "What did you do today" ? She has a list in her head, but also started keeping a spiral notebook 20 years ago with notes for each day and important events and ToDo items. 44 minutes ago, MeloManiac said: All through my life, music, especially listening to vinyl records, has been an emotional outlet for me on moments when things get a bit rough. Purchased my first stereo when I was 13, have never looked back. Living in the Past was one of my first LPs Jethro Tull. 44 minutes ago, MeloManiac said: This morning, during my oldest soccer match, I paid a visit to a local record store.

My daughter graduated a well known University this May, and found employment in her area of study. Now the learning begins. She also moved out of Chicago, thank God. Her goal is to move to TX, where the future and now are located. While I will miss her being close, I plan to assist her relocation and give her some staying power. My mother's family were-are explorers, travelers, farmers, entrepreneurs, physicians. They moved to N America in the very first Colonies from Spain and never looked back. It wasn't easy for a very long time. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reflect on your accomplishments each day, and move to the next task. For me, writing books is my goal in life (next to raising a family). It is also my way of keeping sane in this mad world. If I can write a couple of pages per day, I'm feeling good. My routine is putting on a record, start walking rounds in my living room and gettin gthe words right, and then sit down and start punching the keyboard of my laptop. A mug of Arabica coffee or red berries herbal tea keeps me going! I like the fact that my Technics SL DL1 has a repeat function. I can stay in the flow for hours, like that! 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I could also turn the heaters up further to be warmer , however the warmth of the fireplace is much more comfortable.now it is also cozy warm , beautiful then I can continue to listen to music. We do the same, however, our standard for icy cold is a bit warmer. 25`F is considered icy here 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
