Rhythms...

Life is really all about them, and finding mine has always been important to my sense of well being. Call it my inner musician, call it my OCD... but when I find a good rhythm for my life everything else seems to fall into place.

In my theory on rhythms... your life has a lot of them- your home rhythm, your work rhythm, your friend rhythm... one dissonant note can effect all the other pieces of your life.

Why all this prattle about rhythms? I feel like I've settled in quite nicely into my motherhood rhythm. Kat and I are pretty harmonious, and it's nice. We've got our little piece of music down pat, granted when outside influences happen it can either enhance it- or throw it into dissonance. The key is being able to settle back into it quickly rather than dwell on the bumps. I feel myself changing and wrapping my life around her little rhythm, and now that I've got it down, I feel more peaceful and happy. Granted I'm more tired and worn out, but that's just how motherhood works!

Maybe there are other rhythms that aren't nearly so smooth in my life, but I also think that your personal piece of music is never perfect. If it were, you'd have nothing to work towards or learn.

Maybe I've been listening to too much classical music lately... maybe my inner band geek is showing...but my theories work for me. :)

There goes my little trumpet now... gotta run! accelerando!!!
