friday
Dreamt about all the family (mom and dad, John, Kathy and Pete, the nieces and their husbands, my kids) needing to get into my car so we could all go and see a new house. The problem was how to get them all fit into the car. For some reason I seemed to think it was possible to do and the car did seem to expand somewhat. John was small and lightweight and I was able to lift him easily. I didn't know if I should try and find a place to put the wheelchair with him in it or stow the wheelchair and put him in a seat. Everyone else was piling into the back seats. A dream about moving and taking everyone. That seemed to be the gist of it. A puzzle that needed solved.
I didn't quit my music lessons yesterday. I had bought a new lesson book that deals with scales and chords and we started on that. I told her I don't want to use up my lesson time performing a song for her to "approve me" so she can give me permission to move onto a new song. (Though if I'm particularly pleased with something I would like to show her.) I want to just play what I want to play. Ever since I decided to just sit at the piano and "open my heart" I've been playing more than ever. That's got to be a good thing. In our lessons I want to learn more about music. So I have a renewal of satisfaction with how things are going now. This lesson book has duets that you play with the instructor so I will get practice playing with another person. We did that a little and it was fun.
Today I take Roswell to work very early and then Jan and I are hiking - probably going to Oil Creek. It will only get up into the high 60's so that will be perfect for hiking.
