I'm tired...and I agree with Don...We work and work for what we love...and we learn to live frugally in order to stay alive while doing it. But, yet, I haven't givin it up, even though I know life could be "easier" if I took a job outside the music business.(still thinking about it)

Yeah...I think we all need to encourage eachother. I've always lived in various households of musicians who are willing to pull eachother up and push eachother through and sometimes that still isn't enough from feeling discouraged...

all I can say is: Hey, it gets better...think of these times as the rough spots...(and if anyone feels like encouraging me...please feel free--I need it too)
