I do not like this job

I want to play the guitar.

I studied for a year, many years ago but did not keep up with practicing once the course finished. I so wished I had.

It was actually the longest time I have played for.

When I came to live in the US. I actually brought my guitar with me on the plane. I didn’t have it shipped over with the rest of my belongings, which came months later but I carried it proudly with me from London to LA and then from LA to Portland Oregon. I was determined to play again soon.

Soon has turned into 4 years later.

My first year in the USA, Adam and I had fun socializing, going out, sleeping in late, going out…..

I made no time for my poor guitar which sat looking at me from the corner of the kitchen.

We made babies, I put the guitar in the closet and in the last 3 weeks brought it back out again.

I did attempt to start playing again but Leo my three year old thought he would give it a try and twang, broke a string.

I took it to a music shop. They mended it in on the same day. The guitar is sat a few feet away from me now.

I have decided to try online guitar classes. I will sign up for a month and take it from there. I am determined to play my guitar. My goal is to play before Leo does. Lol. He has already shown interest by running like mad, to get his guitar, if he sees a band on TV playing the instrument. He gets his toy guitar and plays along. It’s very funny. He is very serious.

I intend to start by next Monday when both kids are at daycare.

This is a goal I have set for myself in 2010.

Wish me patience and perseverance and luck too.
