theJourney 3000 Post Club Member T Joined: Feb 2007 Posts: 3,946 Banned	Originally Posted by floydthebarber71 It's depressing! I got into piano for a year when I was in university, I could manage a couple hours a day and progressed quite rapidly....fast forward to the present [work, family, kids], and I can't get time for anything Weekends are totally out, and if I'm not exhausted from work, then it's about 30min if I'm lucky. It's going to be slow progress, and might be disappointing as I have big goals, high aspirations, etc etc. Sigh...life! Do your future 50-year old self a favor: keep up playing even if it is 30 minutes a week. You will thank your self one day.
