This program's working

I played "played" tonight. I focused on playing right and taking my time. I played again things that I had worked on yesterday and they were better today - imagine that. I played new things and they were rough so I took 'em really slowly and just left them in their imperfect state because I know I'll come back to them tomorrow and they'll be better tomorrow.

Then I worked on playing beautifully and my window was open and I hope it sounded as nice outside as it felt to me inside. It's not perfect and I actually am starting to realize that it probably rarely will be, but I liked it.

There is something to this program of taking it slowly and making my simple things sound good, rather than always feeling in over my head. It was very cool and it really, really was playing, playing for fun.
