baby steps...
I think that when we're little kids we get used to the idea of progression. You get better at reading, writing, manners...gymnastics or whatever the fuck it may be that you've chosen to learn (or your parents have chosen for you to learn) as a child.
Whether it comes to you easily or comes to you hard, the activity can be taken for granted because you go through just as you endure any other task in your childhood. And one day, boom you're a fantastic soccer player, or you can paint.

Something that makes me very happy is starting from scratch and slogging through the learning process with such painful clarity. I'm learning to play the violin, and I savor every triumphant baby step of progress.

That was longer than it needed to be. It could have been longer....sorry.

Not much makes me truely happy at the momment. I dont have a hobby or anything that I really enjoy doing anymore. Its a sad sad thing.

Something that I think would make me happy would be to have Liz back.
The few hours I spent with her last Sat. were the happiest few hours I've had in the last month.

But I dont think actually having her back as a girlfriend will happen...

No, I dont play any instruments. It'd be nice but it can be very time consuming and expensive to learn.

I was going to learn drums for a bagpipe band YEARS ago... but my teacher quit the band. Not sure I'd want to wear a kilt anymore either.
