How self important can you get? ld:
But I want to share with all of you how great I feel today. And it's because of you all and my love affair with the Ukulele. I was in a severe depression for that last five years. Waking up without some kind of medication was sooo depressing. I had lost all my lust for life and was living just to go through the motions. I really was depressed. No joke friends.
Then I bought my best friend a Ukulele for Xmas and dug out the one I had bought myself and gave up on. The rest is a beautiful miracle. We clicked as practice partners and I got totally hooked on this beautiful little instrument. I was able to play and sing out all the angst I have been holding in. Sad songs have slowly been turning into happier songs. I crave having my Gretsch in my hands each day. We play two to three hours a day and my blues go up in smoke.
It's not perfect of course. This world is still a hard place for me. To see how humanity must live often breaks my heart and leaves me so sad. Buy there is joy now too. And you all are part of that joy in my life. You have been so supportive of me in every way here. Helped me celebrate every small improvement and answered all my questions with patience and good humor. Thanks to you all. I'm so happy to have found you here and I feel right at home here.
And my New Gretsch. My oh my do I really love this Uke. Far beyond all my others. It just fits me to a tee. Amped or not it makes my attempts to make music work better than any other uke I have. Thanks HMS for doing a perfect set up.
OK I'm going to stop gushing now. And thanks for indulging me in this little rant. Thank you all today from the bottom of my heart. I'm so glad you're here. :smileybounce::shaka::music:
