My dream piano

So a very good friend who is also a Nurse Practitioner suggested that I take a math class or learn to play an instrument. Well.. no choice there for me. I have a calculator for math equations.

And it just so happened that my next door neighbor at the time was discussing her desire to begin piano lessons again. She’d hired a tutor who was going to come to her house and teach her weekly at a very reasonable price. I mentioned my desire to ultimately begin lessons. And she offered me her home and baby grand piano to take lessons.

I was able to get her tutor to come to her home an hour early every week for me. And I had freedom to go to my neighbors as often as I wanted to practice. (my neighbor was a car salesman who lived alone and was really never at home).

Between the illness and death of my Father and my own brain surgery and health issues we continued piano lessons for about 2 or 3 years. Although progress was slow I did ultmately go from Thompson’s lessons for little fingers (a piano lesson for little kids) to the second book for adults. Very slow.. but oh the awesome opportunity to learn something so beautiful.

I am terrible with rhythm and with the attention problems and memory problems.. this experience was tediously slow. Yet my tutor is gifted with the gift of encouragement and continued to spur me on.

Yet my neighbor ultimately moved.. along with her wonderful grand piano. I’ve been praying for one ever since.

Don’t know why I’ve been such a stinker about the baby grand. But it is strange that as big as they are.. I have a space in my home for one of those.. and can’t see any wall space for a regular upright.

So if you have a baby grand and would like to share it with me.. I’d be very blessed. You would be an answer to a long standing prayer of mine.

That is my hope & dream.

Besides a big front porch to hang out on after piano practice LOL

Reminded of this verse: Romans 1:20 “From the creation of the world, God’s invisible qualities, his eternal power and divine nature, have been clearly observed in what he made. As a result, people have no excuse.”
