Learning to play the ukelele has been a lifelong goal for me. The instrument is simple, the sounds oh so sweet. No complications, just plain ol music. A strum here and a strum there, pretty soon those strums because songs, those lyrics become melodies. The inner workings of your mind and a few hums and la dee das can brighten up just about any dark day. As for me, I have all the more reason to sing these days. I sing when I'm happy and I'm exactly that.
Life is funny, isn't it? Sometimes I feel as though I have it all figured out, then bam! New things arise and I'm left scrambling to get my life back together. The best thing I have done for myself this year is to learn to say "no", and to stand up for myself. I will no longer be the person people can walk over. If I feel uncomfortable in a setting, I leave. If someone upsets me, I won't talk to them anymore. To most this may not seem like a big deal, but to me, this is everything.
