I do know how to ...That is awesome! Good for you!<br /><br />I <i>do</i> know how to play the piano, but I'm not at all good at it. Part of the reason for that is that it seems pointless to me to even try when I have this professional piano/keyboard player husband around to play for me. But, you've inspired me to at least try to get back into practice. If I'm going to expect my daughter to take lessons, I should set a good example! :)<br /><br />My goals this year (I'd rather call them goals than resolutions) is to get the house organized (and then keep it so) and to do some kind of cardio workout every day or as often as possible. Now I'll add the practicing piano into that. ;)Karinhttp://three-part-harmony.com/frozenintimenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9799907.post-87461415314520807862010-01-03T23:19:49.294-05:002010-01-03T23:19:49.294-05:00I love this!

I now believe that learning to play an instrument is not the same as taking lessons.

I've been thinking that in the post-40 world I kinda like who I am and don't feel a huge need to make monumental changes. However, learning something new each year, that's something I can really get into. I'll have to think on this a bit.Brigindohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05499279435958916161noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9799907.post-88404464633267445542010-01-03T19:31:21.114-05:002010-01-03T19:31:21.114-05:00Awesome idea!Awesome idea!landismomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10328094347362872558noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9799907.post-80936347531004613912010-01-03T19:30:38.666-05:002010-01-03T19:30:38.666-05:00Of course, you can't play the piano while driv...Of course, you can't play the piano while driving the car, when the kids have no way of escaping... :-)Tie-Dye Brother-in-lawnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9799907.post-65989795406155659172010-01-03T18:54:36.683-05:002010-01-03T18:54:36.683-05:00Tie-Dye Brother-in-law: Exactly!Tie-Dye Brother-in-law: Exactly!jo(e)https://www.blogger.com/profile/01488562158252331555noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9799907.post-5646448462084791942010-01-03T18:44:41.875-05:002010-01-03T18:44:41.875-05:00“It doesn’t matter whether or not you’re good at i...<i>“It doesn’t matter whether or not you’re good at it, so long as you enjoy it.”</i><br /><br />The same goes for singing...Tie-Dye Brother-in-lawnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9799907.post-55571332322957392432010-01-03T17:45:15.265-05:002010-01-03T17:45:15.265-05:00oh, much better than a resolution!
