Keyboard Therapy

One of the byproducts of this surgery was getting a keyboard. Not just any keyboard but a ypg-635. Those of you I work with know of this model as I spoke of it for years. It was a surprise from Dena (Kristies mom), my mom and brother. Dena went out and purchased it while I was in the hospital and set it up in Kristies Apartment. It was a great surprise after getting back and the questions Kristie asked about model numbers when I was doped up made sense.

Why am I going on about this keyboard? Because I have played it everyday. I am not great and only know a few songs but It makes me feel good. They say music is therapeutic and from my experience it is. I can't place it but when I play the pain goes away. I lose track of time. I am so focused the the combination of notes and chords that everything goes away.

After awhile it takes it out of me. Not being a hundred percent is very aggravating. Anyways, playing isn't something I always did. My grandmother use to yell at me when I touched her piano. I didn't start playing until after college and I'm glad I did. If I feel down, I'll play. Happy, I'll play. It doesn't matter what I play just that I continue to better myself.

One of the best features is that the keyboard connects right to a computer and can record and arrange songs. So, I started to think. Why not score my own media. I have goals and this is getting me closer. I hope everyone can have something that helps them the way this helps me.
