How to write when you're happy?

It's often said that creativity comes with depression or intense melodrama - and I have to say I write more music and more frequently make entries in my journal when I'm sad. But wow. Life is Just So Amazing right now. President Obama just swore the Oath of Office. I am overwhelmed with love and pride for my country! The whole thing is just amazing. I mean AMAZING. Such a sobering speech too, not flippantly optimistic, but an appropriate call to action and hope. (I also loved the amazing piano/clarinet/violin/cello piece too, so beautiful!)

In general, things are just falling into place for me, so much so that I'm scared by it. Wondering if I'm going to wake up one day and it was all a dream, or wake up one day and it is all reversed or worse! But I'm not letting myself think like that, I'm just enjoying the fact that I have an amazing part-time job which lets me spend my days surrounded by pianos and music, I have a great place to live, I'm filled with ideas and hopes for things to do this year, I have a great network of friends in London, multiple ways to talk to and see my family, I'm healthy, my family is healthy...I have so much to be grateful for in this gloomy world setting.

I also haven't written lately because I've been trying to decide what to do about my job, and airing all that on my blog has the (very slim) chance of getting back to my current employer, so I decided to just keep quiet. I'll write more about all that when it's truly official later this week.

Go USA! Let's get things working right again! :)
