Introduction	I have spent the last 20 years regretting that I quit the piano at age 13. Many times I’ve attempted to remedy that, yet still I carry the weight of ‘what if’. Everytime I see a piano, sit at a piano, hear a piano, I pause and wonder what if I had just kept going? Then it occured to me...I'M NOT DEAD! I DON'T HAVE TO REGRET...I CAN JUST LEARN TO PLAY NOW! So, I begin this journey, one that I sense may heal more than I even knew I lost all those years ago. Patience, commitment, staying in one place long enough to learn (difficult for a gypsy like me), the pleasure found in a dedication of spirit, the big picture...who knows what else I’ll discover! I may not make Rachmaninoff in 5 years, but I can promise you, as I promise myself; my life will change. Finally able, at some stage, to sit down and play, like I have dreamt. I hope by sharing this I will find a piece of me I lost and pieces I've never known. I hope by sharing this you will be inspired to heal your own regrets. Knowing that life is still ours for the taking!
