I’m so grateful for my morning gratitude practice.  It makes me happy, and gets my day off to a good start.  First, I write a list of things I appreciate about yesterday, making sure to put a positive spin on any thing that didn’t seem so great at the time.  (If I woke up grumpy, things are usually looking better now!)  Then I jot down everything I’ve loved so far  today, and all I’m looking forward to doing for the rest of the day. (Nothing like planning to have a nice day!)  Next come eight more wonderful things that are constant in my life, like good health, a roof over my head, and a lasting relationship.  (Feeling blissed by this time for sure!)  Now for the grand finale: Number eleven is something currently happening in my life that feels truly special.  At the moment, it’s performing last night for a benefit called Let’s Raise The Roof, where several faiths came together to raise money to help First Congregational Church Berkeley to recover from a big fire.  It was a really fun and inspirational evening, and it’s all going to happen again on  Sun. Dec. 18, 6:00 p.m., Lake Park Methodist Church, 281 Santa Clara Ave., Oakland. Ticket donation is $25/one or $20/two or more.  Info/Questions: roymosley@comcast.net  (415) 742-0538

    Memories of Halloween come “trick-ling” back to me this time of year. My family lived in a small town where traditional Trick-or-Treat was entirely safe. I especially liked going to the Eminheisers’ house where we were invited in to see the extravagant decorations (nothing to “freak-out” little children in those days). The grand tour ended…

    Whoa! 2018. Seriously? Sometimes it feels like I’m being pole vaulted through time. There’s never enough of it. The older I get the more important it feels not to fritter any of it away. Precious stuff it is, and easy to get stressed out trying to squeeze in everything I want to do. Funny thing…

    I’ve been hit with a sudden urge to audition for America’s Got Talent.  Apparently the desire to share my inspirational originals with the world at large is filling me with some serious chutzpah.  So, it’s time to sit at the piano for hours, somehow cutting my precious jewels down to 90 second finely facetted gems…

    Doesn’t it feel like we just went through a fast forward?  Next thing we know, we’ll all be singing Auld Lang Syne again!  Speaking of which, I hope your holidays were as festive as mine, but now what?  For me, it’s time to get my students ready for the Winter Share The Music Day where the…

    Recently I got swept up in the state of the world.  It’s not like me.  I’m a kind of “head in the sand” person who doesn’t generally partake of the news.  For the sake of my amazing recovery from chronic depression, that’s the way it needs to be.  So anyway, since mortal reality reached out…
