This is Victory. I have been away because I was tending to my child, who was very ill. In fact, she passed from this world into the realm I call, "The Kingdom of Heaven' last year in March. I cared for her during the last years of her life; therefore, I have been away for quite a while. And, I stayed away because I have been struggling. I have almost stopped singing (although my family is trying hard to keep me in that loop- because my voice is my main instrument), mostly because I don't much feel like it anymore; but I am hoping that if I get back into playing the guitar, and playing properly in fact, well...I am hoping to stay. Although... to be honest, I have some tough to handle days, when nothing much gets done, or, in the effort to find a place of comfort, I move from one project to another, something I have never done before (perhaps), something that will keep me concentrating on the 'task at hand' rather than circumstances; and, as a result, I am not fully (yet) myself (if that will ever really happen to a genuine extent)...
Anyway.. I just wanted to say, 'hi', in order to maybe, 'solidify this decision'. And... because I hope to stay long enough and strong enough in this effort to actually accomplish what I had hoped to accomplish in the past when I was a member of this site. That is: to really learn how to play, not just by ear, which is what I did as a younger person, but 'really' play. She would want me to do it. We'll see...
Blessings to you all.
