I was thisclose to getting stuck too. <br /><br />Interesting that you bring up the harp. I play too, but quite badly. I just never seem to have enough time to practice and I definitely seem to lack to patience that it takes to repeat scales and fingering techniques over and over and over and over... I've been thinking of giving it up too but am just not at the point of being able to yet. I will either have to make progress soon or call it quits because I'm not happy with where I am with it, and as you say, the perfectionist in me causes me to feel dissatisfied after playing instead of happy. Perhaps I'm more in love with the idea of playing the harp than with actually playing. Hmmm. Food for thought.

I've done the same with school and not too long ago. Unfortunately, it didn't happen quick enough so I still ended up owing about $7,000, but the relief was there. I also gave up on the harp. Another sigh of relief. I am just too intense of a person, too much of a perfectionist and it was bringing me fretting rather than joy. <br /><br />So glad that you and your husband know how to keep the romance alive. I'm even less of a romantic than Michael is so it is not something that happens around here, ever. <br /><br />You are a wise one Ms. Cate Crackernuts.Autumn Leaveshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04010044052621228719noreply@blogger.com
