Finally, success.

First, I did my hour of reading: the sixth Harry Potter book. I haven't read it yet, because the ending was spoiled for me making me a lot less enthusiastic about reading it. I've finally decided to read it anyway, as JK Rowling's works are written well enough to enjoy even if the end is already known.

Then I did my hour of prayer and meditation. I began by going down to Spy Pond and praying on the rocks. I then went back home, smoked some salvia divinorum, and meditated the rest of the hour.

Finally, I practiced bowing on the viola for an hour. I did take several breaks during this hour as my arm has been allowed to become lazy and is not yet used to the workout. If I keep up the practice routine, I should be able to eliminate the breaks in a matter of days and by the end of the week move onto fingering.

I've got some momentum right now, hopefully I can keep it going.

woohoo for success!
i have been thinking about giving myself some sort of structure, but of course i'm afraid i'll fail.

i really like salvia. i haven't smoked any in a long long time. it never felt "spiritual" for me though, i know it's like that for a lot of people.

Congratulations on the success!

I was wondering about playing the viola- (you may have seen I've been posting about suddenly wanting to pick up an instrument). What is the viola like? Are you teaching yourself how to play?

There's a man in Portland with violas he is trying to rent-to-own out- and I am so tempted to email him, but I am worried about teaching myself- and I've never been around a viola before. What do you think?

Hope you're doing well- LOVE the userpic : )
