Joyful Noise

I love music.  It's deeply entwined in who I am.

On Sunday, I played my guitar again.  I haven't played it at all in the last 5 or 6 weeks.  I picked it up once a little more than a week before Sunday, and it hurt too much to play.

But on Sunday, I was able to play for a little while.  I could finger pick without any pain at all, and strumming was a little bit sore, but it wasn't painful!

My arm wore out pretty quickly, which was fine, because the fingers on my left hand were getting sore already.

I'm going to play a little bit every night now.  I'll bet it's actually good/therapeutic for my elbow because it's not load bearing, it doesn't flex my wrist, and it's decent exercise for a stiff joint.

But I was able to play music!  I missed that SO much!
