&nbsp;

No further explanation needed, as I vowed when I embarked on my eHarmony adventure that I would not kiss and tell during my subscription.  That's not what this blog is about.

&nbsp;

As for being stood up, let's just say that Kim C. keeps reminding me that I dodged a bullet.  Whew!

&nbsp;

I'm much too busy with Work, Life, Blog and Puppy to sit around the house bemoaning dodged bullets. when<span style="color: #800080;"><strong><span style="font-size: medium;"> dodged bullets are reasons to CELEBRATE!</span></strong></span>

&nbsp;

After an evening walk with Bella, I pulled down my guitar which I haven't played since Christmas.  It's not that I haven't wanted to play.  I think about it everyday.  But...this 365 project is a time vacuum.  An uplifting time vacuum, but a time vacuum nonetheless.  Certain things are going to slide.  I can play guitar again when this 365 project wraps at the end of September.

&nbsp;

For whatever reason, "True Colors" has been floating around in there for some time now.  I surfed on over to <a href="http://chordie.com/chord.pere/www.guitaretab.com/p/phil-collins/173299.html" target="_blank"><strong>Chordie.com</strong> </a>to look up the chords.

&nbsp;

Whoa.  Cindi Lauper gained instant street cred in my eyes.  Her version has chords that I've never learned how to play.  Perhaps this should be my new "challenge".  For Day 262's purposes,  I resorted to the Phil Collins version.  Which contains a few mistakes on Chordie, but I was able to pluck them out and insert the correct chords.

&nbsp;

Ahhhh...Nothing is more therapeutic than getting back to your roots.  I am grateful for the<a href="http://www.diaryofalatebloomer.com/2011/06/12/day-252-soul-explosion/" target="_blank"> <strong>reminder from Mondo Beyondo</strong> </a>at <a href="http://chrisguillebeau.com/3x5/wds-2011-the-heart-attack-of-awesome/" target="_blank"><strong>The World Domination Summit</strong></a> to PLAY!

What do you to ground yourself when you're thrown off track?  (Besides eating chocolate? :-D )
