Way to go, Emma. Don't fall into the trap of minimizing your accomplishment. You can do something today that you could not do a few days ago. Let yourself feel good about it. I'm struggling with that aspect of it myself. I am really impatient and frustrated that I'm not better than I am so far after only about 5 months.

What I love about our community here is that when I come here I can see that I'm doing fine - there is no set schedule or time table for this. Some people are a lot better than me after less time, and I'm probably better than some (few!) people at the same point. As long as we show tiny, incremental improvements over time, that's all that matters.

Oh, and as long as we remember that this is supposed to be fun, even though it is challenging. :-)
