I told my music teacher that I feel very, very guilty for making such a purchase during this time, when so many people are out of a job, I also feel that I don’t deserve such a nice instrument, that it’s the equivalent of a Ferrari to a new driver, or a $15,000 bicycle to someone who just graduated from training wheels.
She pointed out that if I continue to play for the next 40 years (If I’m lucky!), the cost per year is minimal. Plus, the instrument will double its value, leaving a wonderful legacy for my grandchildren. Who knows, maybe one of my grandkids will play it too?
Regardless of the future, it is bringing me joy and that’s all that matters.

Lost in the right direction.
