Last night I subbed on drums with a band. It wasn't a huge crowd. "Sometimes, that's when someone sees you and hires you for a nice-paying party," I remarked to our bass player. No matter, we played to a guarantee. That is, we get the same money if...

You gave someone comfort when they needed it most. What I have discovered in life is that happiness isn’t demanded, instead it is cultivated through what we give to others. We often find our deepest happiness in making others happy. These moments in your life are a testament to that truth. Ancient wisdom wasn’t wrong about karma.

Your talents are waiting for the right opportunities to flourish. May the kindness you have shared return to you as an abundance of opportunities, fulfillment, and reasons to be proud. And through it all, may you always remain grounded, guided by the hearts you have touched and the perseverance that has brought you this far.

Those types of compliments are just so rewarding. Nothing can replace them. When you know you affected someone and it's for the better, it's like a mini lottery win in life. With a compliment like that, it would be gold to the soul.
Thanks for sharing.

@Mindful Not from Texas. We did play some country songs, if that counts.

Mindful · 56-60, F

@uncalled4 not exactly! But thanks for answering my question! And those were some awesome compliments!

@Mindful I'll take them where I can get them!

@uncalled4 I'll bet The Beatles coulda been really popular with a name like that!

HootyTheNightOwl

@Gibbon One of the last things I saw him do was play one hand in 3/4, another in 4/4 and his hihat in 5. I just gave up after that.

Gibbon · 70-79, M

@uncalled4 Yeah that stuff blows the mind. As a rock and roll drummer, I go to watch jazz drummers. The things these guys do. I go, like, how the hell is he doing that? What am I hearing? At least you're still playing. I actually reached the point that I didn't want to play in a band anymore. I don't care how many people asked me to play with them. I knew my own limitations whether they could hear them or not.

uncalled4 · 56-60, M

@Gibbon I know my limitations...and play anyway! 😃
