out of my comfort zone

I did it. It took a long time to write this down, but I am getting involved. My parents' 50th anniversary is July 31, 2011. I decided for a gift to start playing the piano again. My mother loves Chopin and I will be playing a Valse for the both of them. I have been taking piano lessons since September and just played my first recital yesterday(in over thirty years). I was so nervous, myhands were shaking. After I finished, I couldn't remember if I played certain parts of the music. I am now preparing to test and pass a grade level 5. I hope to complete my diploma in three years. I have much to learn.

I also took an instructor class for ESL (English as a Second Language). I facilitate a group of women in speaking, reading and a little writing. Classes will resume Jan. 10. 2011.

I also plan on taking some classes to help the elderly, the disabled, and low income families to prepare their taxes. I start classes Jan. 5.
