bright spots.

a good friend showed up in my box yesterday
and asked my about the bright spots in my life.

i told him there were many!
as there are!

i spoke of good health as that's on my mind
a whole whole lot. good health all around,
business doin' okay...the bright spots that
keep the smaller bright spots comin'.

last nite, i was just gettin' cozy in my room
when the bright spots started hittin' me one
after another.

i watched them, smiled....and grabbed each one
as they came.

first, i started thinking about today.
i'm gonna see my guy this afternoon.....and it's
been so long since i've seen him that i'm feelin'
a bit like a kid at christmas. only this time,
instead of getting a present....i get santa!!

i lay back grinnin' and thinking about it all
when in walked two of my most blinding bright spots,
yo and zakk!

we started talking about the 'zakk fest' josh will
be throwing for his students. it's named after one
of josh's students (not his brother) and i guess
the best way to describe it is a musical recital for
his students thrown in josh style with an ozzy twist.

those kinda things get me carried away.
i love ANY excuse to play. and josh and i play a lot
alike, so it's quite fun.
and i started brainstorming with yo and zakk on how
we could help.

i found myself smiling a lot, with ideas poppin' out
a mile a minute.

i leaned back again and thought of my friend's note.

'bright spots,' i thought.

these are the bright spots you can't really put into
words. these are the the things that make the good health
and the business doin' okay matter.

these are the stuffing of life.
(hmmm...or is that 'stuff' of life?? i like
'stuffing' much better...)

the last thing i did before i turned out my light,
was laugh.

the first thing i did when i woke up this morning was smile.

today, i'm taking a break from the hard stuff....
and concentrating on the fun stuff.
focusing on the bright spots....

amazing what a note from a friend can spark.....
