I've spent a long time reading other blogs and thinking "I could do that." But somehow the time never felt right before. It's been on my mind a lot lately so I finally worked up the courage to take the plunge.
Music plays a huge part in my life. I started playing the clarinet in grade school and continued into high school playing in the honors orchestra. Along the way I added in the piano and guitar but the clarinet has always been my first love.
In the last few years I've had to deal with deep depression. Along the way I stopped playing and became a virtual recluse. I went out as little as possible and along the way I lost interest in everything that had mattered so much to me. The clarinet and guitar were packed away and I spent my time watching tv and surfing the internet.
Life is slowly improving and I've begun playing again. It feels right. Like a huge part of me that was missing is back again. I'm not ready to go out and play in public anytime soon but one of these days it will happen.

I suspect you can indeed "do that" and hope you enjoy doing so.
One step at a time, yes?
Absolutely. Just have to be careful not to fall on my face doing it.
The whole "human walking" thing is pretty amazing; an incredibly complex process that babies somehow still manage to work out, though a fair amount of falling does happen. Apparently the thrill of new-found mobility wins out over pain of falling, because they usually get up and try again.
Sometimes I think if babies knew what we know, they might stick to crawling.
:-P
Also sometimes I think about how the earth is roughly ball-shaped, and anyone living between the polar circles is like, sideways, standing and walking around on that giant ball. So far I haven't been able to disorient myself with such thoughts, but for some reason I keep trying. Maybe just to see if I can, I don't know.
Anyway - here's to new-found mobility.
Blogging is a fantastic antidote for depression. It brought me back from the brink and I hope it does the same for you
I'd be interested to read a post about your taste in music
I think blogging is going to be a very good thing. I'm actually working on a post about some of my favorite songs. It needs a bit of editing though as it's way too long.
