Bring on the Spring
Last week was the first true week of spring weather-wise and all of NYC breathed a sigh of relief. This past winter wasn't even that bad but due to unknown circumstances (global warming) things stayed warm through January and then turned brutal in February, March and too cold for my tastes for most of April.
I always welcome the warm weather because I can put my heavy coats in the closet and release the weight of winter.
I've got to seriously update my website…but all good things in due time. For those of you who don't know, I have a myspace page now (http://www.myspace.com/daphneshawnsings) where I've only posted one song. Rest assured that's not the only one I've working on and more will follow in the weeks and months to come.
Another blessing of spring is that it urges me to clean house in ALL areas of my life! I've realized that evaluating relationships and so-called friends is imperative for my future happiness and success. At heart I'm an optimist and would love to call everyone a friend, but alas that is not the case at this point in my life. But I do have ways of evaluating friends and one of them is whether or not I even feel good when I'm around them. Another is if they can give criticism constructively or if they take pleasure in cattily berating me. And lastly I also have to admit that friends that actually make an effort to keep in touch score higher points than those that drift in and out every six months or so. Why is this? Well as far as friendships are concerned the less I hear from you, the less inclined I am to care. And once I've stopped caring…let's say that it's a wrap for you.
Believe me, I don't say write these things as if people are clamoring down my door to be my friend. But I do realize how precious true friends are and refuse to waste valuable time on people who are nothing more than haters.
I'll be writing more now that spring is here (I promise). And as the music gets finished, I'll be sharing that as well.
Peace.
