Quote of the Day: Benjamin Franklin

This quote is for those days when nothing seems to go right. I reference it often – far more often than I’d like! – and hope you find it helpful, too.

“Our limited perspective, our hopes and fears become our measure of life, and when circumstances don’t fit our ideas, they become our difficulties.”
Benjamin Franklin
Scientist, Inventor, Printer, and American Founding Father

When you can’t seem to buy a victory, try to remember that as bad as things may seem (or be) at the moment, they’re just circumstances…and circumstances change. Be patient, be persistent, and you will triumph!

Now, get back to practicing.  ;-)

All the best,
Mark

It’s that time of the year!

Just wanted to toss out a quick reminder to anyone who may be in the same boat I am regarding their Christmas (or other holiday!) shopping. If you have items left on your list, please consider your PTM advertisers. All are good, many offer expedited shipping, and some even offer one-size-fits-all gift cards. To check it out, click on the ads in the right column!

Gifts are wonderful, of course, but don’t forget to spend some quality time with your loved ones, especially while school is out and work may be slow. With only one Christmas performance remaining for our family, we’ll be gearing up to gear down (!) and enjoy spending all the time together that we can. Playing music will be a big part of that, of course, but I see some board games and Guitar Hero in our future as well. It’s all good.  8-)

Coming soon: a musician’s review of Guitar Hero World Tour, a good look at resources for the church musician, a very special interview (shhhhh!), and much, MUCH more. For now, though, it’s time to get back to my practicing!

Keep playing,
Mark
