Taking the time to follow a lost childhood dream.

My birthday is coming up. I will have made it 42 years in this body ( I am thankful for my bloodline and genetic sequencing - meaning I still get carded). I have seen many things and walked into many realities.

Some of the lessons where the same just the school and the students changed - but the classes were still the same.

History - doomed to be repeated, Math - add and subtract you friends, Gym - hit hard/run fast, English- a waste of time and never used.

Then I finally got the gist of the game and saw some tweaks and do-overs.

So, my do over for my 42 is to follow the paths I would have when I was a child - but due to family financial difficulies I was unable to pursue.

(funny as a child - I wanted to be that kid that got carted off to piano, violin or singing lessons. Yes, I wanted to be a musical nerd).

Anyway, I bought myself a violin and she's beautiful. She looks like the one from the movie 'The Red Violin' - there's my baby isn't she a beauty.

But since I live so far away from lessons- this is where the challenge comes in. I will be teaching myself- thank goodness for the internet and all of those online classes.

Yes, in life we are given lemons for lemon-aid and sometimes in life we are given do overs and now that I am old enough to follow a passion and to have the responsibility to practice. This will definately be a wonderful 42.
