 *Music is more than just a hobby.* I've lived in a house with a piano as long as I can remember. My father played in his spare time for my older brother to hear; but it was not until I was four years old that I began taking weekly lessons. The habit of practicing every week forced me *evolve*. I'm still playing piano almost two decades later. *Reaching this point required resolution.* Some days you just can't progress. But there's no doubt in my mind that the effort was worth it. There's not much in life that can provide as much satisfaction. Playing the piano is something I can look forward to at the end of a tough day. *Just sitting down, taking a **deep breath** and **playing** whatever comes to mind.* ---- [Image via Franklin Heijnen](https://www.flickr.com/photos/franklinheijnen/13654116404/in/photolist-mNyV75-9k4yYX-afRVib-a7jHGC-7tSnTw-6APYmP-2Zh1U1-8QHS7m-4toprp-cFUAx3-9UBWw1-4tssB5-Jo63JK-7g7gip-oLSfrA-dSio7u-nUTzY4-79cUC8-e1WhW1-7gbbdL-81w3T8-7g7gxa-hDhLHR-hDiHms-e8MatD-7g7gyx-p2knxh-bpN8gd-9WY7CP-bxWdCn-e8SNQ5-p4m2Lt-hDjzxQ-e8Maur-Be3C23-bXm6st-HbFDif-p4kRF8-e8Macv-hDjq3B-p2jTH9-6QcZk6-hDjqj8-hDjhZZ-hDjtrm-fwFD8b-p473zr-e8M9Tn-p4kxx1-A4fmko) ---- steemit: @martin-stuessy other: [Portfolio page](http://martinstuessy.com)
