As each day goes by I feel more confident.PS Healthhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04166699680086538676noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25637697.post-69295646748999954212009-09-27T23:09:30.305-05:002009-09-27T23:09:30.305-05:00I loved the last line of what you wrote, Paula. &...I loved the last line of what you wrote, Paula. "Remembering and stretching at the same time." Life IS that way, isn't it? Stretching back and stretching forward with NOW being the meeting point of the two-way longing. My piano lessons began when I was 8, and I practiced on a cardboard keyboard on our dining room table as my parents searched for a piano they could afford. How my mom longed to play, and how she savored MY getting the lessons and the opportunity she never had.

Mine's an upright (in perfect saloon-tune) and although I want to spin out a Clemente Sonatina, my fingers remember only the first 4 bars of Scott Joplin's 'The Entertainer'. I found the reservable practice rooms (complete with spinets) in the music center at college a perfect counter-balance to the 8" thick nursing texts. I'm encouraged by your example that this may be a reclaimable balance point. Thank you for sharing.<br /> I envy that you have made the time/effort.Sue Hhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00140073738526498533noreply@blogger.com
