in the dumps a little /bought a new grill

I try not to sound as old as i am ,but the other day i came to terms with the realization that i could expect some part,parts of my body to hurt at least some everyday .the pain free days of my youth are gone . i also have come to long for the days of playing music with people who were passionate about the music they made. even if they weren't the best at their instrument ,they still put heart and soul into it .I love to play with people that are better than i am because they force me to grow as a musician.Music is such a big part of my life ,my hands don't feel nearly as good as the did a few years ago .i still love playing but feel discouraged at the progress of my playing ,and when i do learn new stuff most of the time i get no chance to really perform it for anybody ,or play it with others .I hope i don't lose my passion as a musician against such dicouraging circumstances.I have had a really good weekend at the house . bought a new grill very happy we did . tilled up ground for my girl to plant flowers ,she did a great job ...
