Did you learn to play an instrument as a child? I was fortunate that my grandfather took an interest in my desire to learn to play the guitar and faithfully drove me to lessons on Friday evenings. He bought my instruments and stoked my curiosity and love of learning. A few years ago, I brought my guitars home to Virginia following a visit with my family in the Midwest. They had been carefully stored in my bedroom closet and were just as I left them so many years ago. Now that I have them with me again, I periodically pull them out to strum a few chords - especially now that I'm doing The Artist's Way program (again, for the umpteenth time), and I am faithfully doing weekly 'Artist Dates', i.e. playful activities that nurture my inner artist. I am pretty rusty with chords and reading music, but would love to improve my skills in weeks and months to come.
With that in mind, I intend to 'Spend Time With An Old Friend', my childhood guitar, as part of my Second Annual I Resolve To . . . Challenge: 365 Resolutions For Health & Happiness. Why not join me? The objective is very simple: Do at least one thing each and every day to promote health and happiness for 'YOU'. Banish the 'Someday, Someday, Someday Syndrome'. Instead, make every day New Year's Day. Make every day count with 'daily resolves'. The list of possibilities is infinite and can be tailored to your own dreams, resolutions and daily goals. If you need some help - a little nudge, a bit of inspiration, tips, advice, and news about the best ways to make resolutions a reality - please use IResolveTo.Com as one of your resources.
