True Passion! While thinking about the discussion in my post yesterday about having passion for your work, I thought I’d share the relationship of it to both the All Jazzed Up post and the jazzy poem in between the two. I maintained a successful career as a performing musician for many years playing the piano and keyboards, everything from classical to jazz, rock and even some country. My love for music is unrelenting; it was bred into me by my father who played the saxophone as well as it can be played so music was in my blood. My passion for performing was immediately apparent to any musicians or members of the vast audience I played for in every imaginable venue. I poured my heart out musically night and day and as the poem suggested, I was deeply involved with someone for seven of those years who in truth was easier to love than me because she was always supportive of my music the only exception being it kept us from going out together so often. She was such a good sport though coming to hear me or waiting up for me a great many nights when I finished unless I was out of town. While performing, rehearsing or practicing, I was totally immersed in what I did but when I stopped, she had my undivided attention. I finally grew weary of the lifestyle and changed careers. I can’t pretend I love what I’m doing now the same way I love music but I do it like I do everything, with intensity and passion because I can’t do things any other way!  |

Thank you so much rose. I've done my best never to take my blessings for granted, believe me! I know you love writing rose and even if it's a fight as you say, you can immerse yourself in the creative process which I think a lot of people who make good money doing something they don't enjoy envy.
