    Marcia,

    I’m sure once you get started again you’ll get back into the flow of it! I don’t know about you, but I’ve noticed after only practicing a few times, playing the harp really lifts my mood. I can see why harp is used for therapy! I just keep realizing that even if I’m having a bad day before I start playing, once I’m done playing, I’m almost giddy and yet relaxed at the same time. Amazing! 🙂 Love at first pluck.
    Well, I’ve already learned the first quarter of one of my compositions on the harp, and I can’t wait to practice more and learn the rest. I’m still very slow at it and making mistakes, but I just can’t believe I’m actually playing it. It sounds so much more beautiful than on my keyboard.

    Good luck making time for your hobbies! Life is so much more fun with hobbies.

    Actually, I just met with her yesterday when she mentioned that we needed four more, but she says some people sign up the day class starts, so not to panick or anything..maybe some people are just waiting until the last minute. I’m trying to think of who else would want to take it but I really don’t know! She says there need to be eight total.

    Well, I sent out a mass e-mail to the friends I’ve made here and there in Charlotte in the past eight months, so we’ll see if anything comes of that. Keep your fingers crossed!
