An hour of guitar practice in

I have increased my guitar practice from 20 minutes to 1 hour now. Learning 3 small tunes on the first three strings E B G. I'm doing pretty good. I try and say the name of the note as well as play it. It's not that easy for me but I'm getting there. Doing much better at reading the music then I was. My mum can't understand why I want to learn guitar at this stage of my life but I'm trying to keep my mind active and learn something new. Isn't that supposed to be good for you to learn something new. I enjoy playing the guitar and I have always wanted to do it. So I'm trying and I think I'm not doing to bad. If things get difficult which I don't think they will with google and youtube I'll start taking lessons again. Between guitar and chess and writing my novel I think I'm challenging my brain pretty good. I'm happy and that is all that matters. I don't think I'm over doing it because my back can only take so much playing the guitar. I went out for coffee with my mum today and it wasn't too bad. I was able to get some grocery shopping done today. Hubby went for a coffee on his own ran into someone he really didn't want to see and quickly came home. I have everything done today that I wanted to get done even took two boxes and a bag to the local charity shop. I'm pleased with what I have gotten done today. Each day I seem to be doing a little bit more I'm getting a routine down now which is good. It's only taken my 6 months to get a routine but that's ok now I have one I'm flying. I feel good about my life which I didn't for the longest time. I feel like I'm now living life the way I want to live it instead of life dictating how I should live it. It's only taken my 55 years and retirement to be happy with life. Now if I could only have a little bit more money not much just enough that I don't have to rely on anyone else that I would be able to stand on my own two feet then that's all that matters now. I haven't heard yet from disability CPP that won't be for a few more months. Hopefully that will come through then I'll be independent. I'm sort of that way now but it takes all my money to pay the bills. I'll get there I'm sure I will. Well that's about it for now I'll write again tomorrow.
