Piano Practice
Funny thing. Sometimes when I'm practicing piano music, if my mind gets busy with other thoughts, my fingers scamper right along playing the piece well, but if I start thinking about what I'm doing, I start to feel a little confused and start making mistakes. I think that's odd. I think it shouldn't be that way. Of course, if it's a really new piece of music, I can't play it at all if I'm not mentally tuned in to what I'm doing. I think of many different things while I'm practicing familiar music. That can be very relaxing.

I just hoped when I got home that if anything out of the ordinary had happened, I would have snapped out of my deep thought and done the right thing. I'm pretty sure it would have happened that way, but I confess, it's scary to realize that you don't remember whether you had a red light or anything about trip. Edinboro is about 30 miles away from us.

It sounds a little bit like my commute to work each morning; several blocks can pass by without my remembering ever having navigated them. Not nearly as much fun as making music though. : )
