Piano

So for many of you this blog won't be as exciting as for others. To start off our blog I thought it appropriate to share with you pictures of our home so you can have some visuals to go with the very funny stories I plan on sharing. This home was a blessing from God and we are thankful everyday. These pictures were taken when we first moved in so of course many things have changed. Like the piano in our living room. The baby grand was a romantic gift from Robby. We were at one of his recitals for guitar and the moms of all the young students kept asking me if my child was performing...I had to keep answering with a grin on my face, "No my husband is! You will recognize him as the only one over the age of 12." Well, I mentioned to Robby how I felt in some ways I missed out on learning to play an instrument as a child. In fact, I have never done anything musical in my life but am surrounded by it all the time. Robby did ask me what instrument I would have played if I could have learned any and I said the piano. Here I am 8 months later with lessons every Saturday in my home by one of the most wonderful, compassionate teachers that has ever graced the earth. They say learning music is one of the better ways of growing the brain and keeping it young. All I know is that playing thus far has taught me perseverance, patient and accepting things for what they are each and every day. It is a difficult journey of self discovery learning to play music. I wanted to quit by the second lesson . I realize how impatient of a person I am how much I just waste thru a day not taking even one moment to savor. I guess that is what the Piano means to me today. Stop and enjoy the journey...no matter how it sounds...even if it doesn't sound at all...just enjoy.
