i have recently welcomed a piano into my life and i am filled with excitement and slight trepidation at the task of learning it. i look forward to having something to practice daily. it may sound strange, but i need to practice practicing. so that i might learn to practice other things that are more subtle than an instrument but just as lovely.
i will enjoy today, looking at the beautiful beast in my home as a world of possibilities. tomorrow my lessons begin and the world of possibilities will crash down around me as i struggle to learn the most simple of things. thus the beginning of the frustration that normally stops me because my mind is grasping at the possibilities in my head that my hands cannot produce. this time i won't stop. i've written down now.
today the piano is beautiful to me. tomorrow it will be uncomfortable to me. and the more time i spend uncomfortable with it, the closer i will be to the possibilities in my mind. for the first time in a long time, i look forward to feeling uncomfortable. the piano came to me at a perfect time. thank you amy.

That is awesome, so glad you choose something in the musical field to wrap your uncomfortablness ( not sure that is really a word other than my own) around, music is a great thing in ones life, I learned how to play guitar on my own, i'm not good but it is the one thing I can do alone or with other musicians, keep us posted on progress, way to go susan
I'm so very excited for you. It will expand everything you know.
One of these days I want to come over and just touch the keys. Pianos are marvelous things.
