    Sometimes as I try to learn I feel like the Itsy Bitsy Spyder who went up the water spout. I get part way up and then the rain washes me out. BUT …. the Itsy Bitsy spyder goes back up the drain. Im making progress and then I go backwards. Then I go back up the water spout but like an inch worm….just a little bit at a time. Still, progress is progress which beats the heck out of not trying.

    Solid win @Mrfredsporty ! Sometimes even though it seems like I am having a difficult time accomplishing anything with the lesson, I will have a go at it the next day and it falls into place. 😃

    You are making me laugh @Mrfredsporty and that is “laughing with you”. As long a we keep climbing it is about the climb. Let’s get to the top and slide down even if there is no rain to wash us out just so we can climb some more. Liking your win today!

      As they say, it’s the journey not the destination

    @Mrfredsporty I love your post title and your analogy! Up here in the prairies of Canada we’re getting some lovely early mornings. I love to grab a coffee, my guitar and play in the backyard as the sun rises. I’m so very grateful that I decided to finally learn to play. I’m climbing, sliding then climbing some more and loving the adventure. Cheers👍

    I have learned a number of the standard children’s song. They are fun. Itsy Bitsy Spider is a classic. Thanks for reminding me I need to play those songs sometimes so I don’t forget them. 😎
