I am grateful:
1. Piano duets.
2. Two-piano pieces
3. I played piano for L yesterday. First time ever. On phone. 1 page of a Rachmaninoff piece. When I play this entire piece through, it leaves me limp. Almost splayed across the piano, so *emotionally * drained. I see, hear, feel it as beautiful. So beautiful. Yet SO sad. Tragic. So I’m walking past the piano with the phone in my hand yesterday, talking with L, and I say, “Listen,” and I sit and play the one page of it. I finish, and he says, “Infinite loss.” Totally nailed it. That was nice.
4. Then he made much of my playing. Beautiful.
5. Then today in an email he asked please would I play piece(s) for him one day.
6. And I said yes. This is all a VERY big deal to me.
7. L. is thinking and talking about wanting to live with me. I won’t! Don’t worry! But it is awfully nice to hear.
8. And I shouldn’t say I won’t. I am learning that I never know what circumstances are going to change. I mean maybe if we’re both old, and not in love with anyone, and still friends, and looking for platonic roommate… and financial and health easier…
9. Heck, I could fall in love with an A. type person and wife could leave and WE wind up together! (NOT A!) I’m just saying.
10. I’m learning that life is change.
11. And that tomorrow is a mystery. Planning, sure, financial, health…. But other than that…
12. And that change is good.
13. And at the very least inevitable.
14. And so is mystery good.
15. And at the very least inevitable.
16. Hope. I still have SOME.
17. That I can put pics into blog now! You an SEE how it’s so important to me!
18. That I can FINALLY size them a little. It takes like five steps but at least I can.
19. Still cannot completely control WHERE they go! Since the new way blogger has, just a few days ago! : ( But I am grateful for blogger.
20. That I am not psychotic. It is very hard to be psychotic. I have known people who are. And, in a way, L. is – at least almost…
