Creativity - Day 4 and our piano!
(I haven't had much time at the computer for a few days, so I'm still catching up posting for the weekend... I wrote this on Sunday night.)
I practiced piano for 45 minutes tonight! The piano made it here safely from Dallas on Friday afternoon (thanks mom & dad for arranging AND paying for all of that!!!), and Joe and I are very excited.
I just played scales for the first 15 minutes... there's something peaceful to me about repeating something simple over and over, with it sounding better and better each time. Peaceful to me, but often extremely annoying to anyone who might have no choice but to listen. Joe had to finish some stuff at work tonight, so I didn't have to worry about that, though! I had intended to play for only 30 minutes, but I was having a good time and my fingers never started to hurt, so I just kept it up. I played some songs I used to know, figuring out the parts I'd forgotten. It was fun! Even though the piano does need tuned (we have to wait to do that until it's had plenty of time to acclimate to the new environment), it doesn't sound too bad to bother me. Woo hoo piano!
(It's also neat that our gold walls really bring out the yellow hints in the walnut piano to make it look like it's glowing gold - so pretty! It never looked like that in it's other homes.)
