CD COLLECTION-UPDATE

Well, I'm nearly at the end of this purging. I cheated a bit last night: I took a lot of cds out of their jewel cases and put them into a huge CD wallet, whist binning the jewel cases and inlay cards. It actually looks like I have more room in my sitting/living room, which is a blessing. It's good to get rid of stuff from time to time.

Not the most interesting topic I'll admit, but from my point of view, getting rid of these items is symbolical of a change of lifestyle, one where I will concentrate more on my own health and well-being.

I've spent a lot of time with the mistress I call music, but it's time to focus on changing other aspects of my life, one that might ensure a longer, happier existence. I could mention a few reasons why my health has suffered of late, but it would mean probably having to justify it to people who pay my salary, which, given the climate, I'm not prepared to do. I have integrity, have always had it, but now is not the time for blame and grandstanding.

As my 6 weeks of meetings to deal with my stress have shown: it's not the actions of others that are the problem, it's my reaction to it that is most important. Nice sentiment, and there's a lot of truth in that, I just believe it goes deeper than mere reactions.
