Unchained Melody
I wanted to learn an arrangement of Unchained Melody but couldn't find one I liked, so I arranged this one for myself.

I was lucky/unlucky. My addiction was completely trauma related. The assaults stopped and the addiction disappeared immediately. No cravings. No urges. Just done. I was high whenever I wasn't at work, which was a lot at the end.
The only time I toke now is when I dream. I get so mad at myself in those dreams. I feel the social pressure. I feel the inability to say no.
I'm nine months sober. I contemplate this period every month knowing how much better things are for me now. I'll stay clear of cannabis the rest of my life because it's too easy to stop pain in its tracks. Facing pain head on has helped. Suppressing pain kept me trapped longer than I like to think about.
Trauma can play a part. If it does play a part, addressing that trauma will go a long way to staying sober.
Last year I grew a sunflower forest. I loved it. I've also always wanted to grow tulips. About 200 came up. Now the sunflower seedlings are popping out. The sunflower forest picture is from last year.
Last year this whole area became a sunflower forest. I've never had tulips before. My yard and garden are always a little bit experimental.
She wanted me to compose something and play it at her funeral. I had plans in my head for a requiem of a sort. However, she died 10 years earlier than I thought she would. I've been in a composition slump for months and months. I was pleased I was able to arrange one of her favourite hymns and play it at her funeral. The hymn is called Because I Have Been Given Much.
Smiles tell lies.
At least I can look nice on the outside ❤️
I recently topped one of my small ficus plants. She rooted beautifully. I'm curious if I can keep her small.
