Radiohead |
This is Day 130 of my #6MonthsOfGrief Project. To learn more about this practice, feel free to visit Day One, where I explain this project in more detail.
Tonight I go live on the air, like I do every Tuesday evening from 8 to 9pm. I talk about my life, I play music and do improv with some local, talented weirdoes. I'm so glad I have kept up with at least two of my creative projects, while still working full-time. It doesn't leave a lot of time for other things, but I'm hoping some day I will find some equilibrium and my grief won't exhaust me so much. I think this Grief Project and my radio show actually help me process my grief and help me move through it. I remain hopeful.
