Old Habits Die Hard

Some old habits die hard as they say. My husband recently bought me something online the other day. We are trying to go the whole month of January without spending any unnecessary money. We shall see....it makes me want to go buy something just because. Anyway, back to the point...I used to do something I absolutely loved, but it seemed in an instant it vanished. I used to play the cello. If you are a musician and love playing music then you know what I mean when I say I LOVED playing. It is something that seems to take over your whole body. You get excited at the thought of being alone or even with others just to sit and make music for hours. I used to practice every day for hours. I just loved it so much. It was a part of me. I had a crazy adolescence, but in the beginning, this kept me out of a lot of trouble. It has been a long time since I actually played. I have my cello sitting out, reminding me...Hey...can we talk?? Well a few months back I broke a string. I could have gone out to a music store somewhere in this country and found one, but time got away from me. Then, when I would think about it again...I would just tell myself that I didn't need to spend the money. Just one string can cost a lot. Well, my husband bought me a new set of strings the other day! I guess he was tired of me talking about it and doing nothing. I have to say that I am sooo excited to tune my instrument and get going. There is still just one problem. I can't play like a used to, and so I know I will get soooo frustrated! So, wish me luck and that I don't break another string out of frustration and it takes me 6 more months to get another one!
