The other day I found a tape of a recording of me playing the piano a while ago. I was impressed with some of the songs I used to be able to play and now I can't :) But ofcourse I bet I play songs now that I wouldn't have been able to learn then. Anyways, I'm not the greatest at the piano, but I just love playing it! So...um...well...Oh! So you ask why I love playing the piano? There are many reasons for this. First and foremost, I'm named after someone who plays the piano. My mom always used to love to open her basement window and listen to the girl next door playing the piano. Well that girl's name was Kathryn and so is mine(I guess it's a good thing I wasn't named Rebecca huh? Anybody else almost named Rebbecca? Oh and that also goes to show just how much your name really can do for you. If you want to motivate your kids to do something you'd like them to and enjoy it, name them after someone who did that thing and they'll feel obligated to like it). So yeah one reason I like playing the piano is it's sort of my way of living up to my name. Another reason I love playing the piano is it relieves stress. It's so nice when I'm having a bad day to just come home and sit at the piano and play whatever I want. It's great. I think I'd be living in some insane asylum if it weren't for the piano. Another more selfish reason for my liking the piano is that... well being the youngest of a competitive family of 8, everyone is always better than me at everything because they're older and not to mention a foot or two taller. Now ofcourse I always want to be better than other people at stuff if you haven't noticed, so this drives me crazy .Playing the piano is my secrert way of revenge. Everyone in my family plays the piano, but this time I'm better than all of them for once. It sounds stupid, but really it's actually very full-filling. Yeah so I guess the piano nurtures my pride :) which I have a lot of and you can probably tell that from just reading this. Okay well, uh the last reason I'm going to mention for liking the piano is it gets me out of stuff like doing the dishes. However, I guess it also get's me into stuff like accompanying the ward choir etc. which is scary, but secretly I like that too.
Yep so I like playing the piano. It's one of the few things in life that I'll actually admit to always enjoy doing no matter what.
