Happy Sunday, guys and girls!

I hope you've had a wonderful weekend full of love and happiness.  My weekend was lovely here in LA, and in addition to the love and happiness that I experienced through being with my friends, I also added another awesome element:  MUSIC!

I've spent the last several hours playing my acoustic guitar and learning on a keyboard that my friend has let me borrow!  I've been playing my guitar for quite some time now, and I posted a short cover of one of my favorite Christmas songs - "Silver Bells" - to my Instagram! (Here's the link, but I'll warn you, I screwed up one of the chords - sorry!!  Haha.)

After my lil rendition of "Silver Bells", I plugged in the keyboard and starting getting to work!  

I grew up playing piano and singing, and I must say, I was quite good as a child!  I stopped playing for a while, and now I literally feel like I can't remember anything that I learned about the piano!  (Thankfully YouTube piano tutorials are helping me!)  

I've just been working with the basics of the keyboard all over again, even after having had years of training in the past. But what has been really great is having the understanding that we are always able to grow and improve, even if it means starting back at square 1.  In my case, I'm starting completely over in piano, but there's nothing wrong with that!  In fact, it's a wonderful feeling knowing that I have the opportunity to try!  

My point here in my post, friends, is to never stop striving to try new things and never stop your pursuit of learning more!  Each and every single day is an opportunity to improve as a person, and it's important that we all take advantage of the time that we're given.  

I often think to myself that if I strive every single day to be a better person than I was yesterday, then I'm doing a pretty good job!  All we can do is try to be the best that we can be, and if you try to do that, you should be proud of yourself.  

Here's to improving even more tomorrow, guys and girls!

Lots of love,

Jesse x

I can relate when you said that you're trying to get back into the piano after a while of not playing. Me too would like to jump back into my passion for the flute. I stopped playing when I was in middle school, which was 9 years ago, and I really regret that. I gave up on the instrument because the notes became too hard for me. I then realized over the years that giving up on something I like because it's difficult will just automatically cut off my chance of possible progress.
I like when you said that we always have the inner ability to grow and improve, and that it's okay to re-learn something. Doing it a second time, let's us appreciate it twice as much for sure.
Great blog!
