Putting something in words clarifies

I noticed a slight change in my attitudes yesterday after putting into words my desire for a new guitar. It's no longer such an overwhelming "want".

Simply writing down in this blog that I wanted the guitar, but it wasn't for a really good reason, has dispelled about half of the "jones". There's still some more distance to cover in resisting the urges, but at least I've made a start.

The more I can resist the "new guitar jones", the more I can focus on the playing. And playing, as Shakespeare sort of said, is the thing.
