@TMutter Wow, thank you for the gracious compliments. I love what Ira says, and it is so true. I’ve almost given up on several occasions, but this is something I enjoy and I’ve always wanted. It is way more work than I ever thought, but I hit these periods where all of a sudden it just makes sense and I can do something I struggled with for so long. Then when I hit a plateau and feel I’m in a slump, I can remember that those growth periods are just around the corner. It helps me keep track of what I’m supposed to be doing to move forward, even though I want to give up sometimes when nothing seems to be going right.
I was in a small funk for a few weeks,. I didn’t do the dailies, but I still played every day. I’m now doing the dailies again and still playing other things. Nothing comes easily or naturally for me, but I see the progress after a LOT of hard work and practice. I’m enjoying myself and my journey right now, and I’m having so much fun at VOMs, even if my songs aren’t perfect. I’ve allowed myself to be vulnerable, and I think that has helped me grow.
Okay, sorry for switching focus on your post, but you introduced it so I don’t feel so guilty. 😁. I hope others read your previous post and this one and shelve the information for when they’re frustrated or despondent. It’s temporary. Continue making the effort and taking action steps, and trust that it will turn around and get better.
