this thought / action kept me going today

[The Wandering Harper]

behave as if you have hope especially when you don't. No, it isn't easy.
But sometimes it's not much harder than picking up your guitar
when your brain's like "we should practice now,"
and your heart's like "not feelin it,
but I guess it couldn't hurt"

1. I watched the late election returns Tuesday playing my guitar and mandola. Sounded sad, but helped.

2. I couldn't even

I was hoping to avoid the news for a few days to try to prepare myself emotionally,
but I found out by accident sooner than I hoped

3. mandola sounds nice

The time I tried mandolin I found it too small for the way my fingers think.
in a perfect world I'd have an Irish bouzouki to play around on
