Triumph!

I learned a B Major chord on guitar tonight! This is definitely a small thing as far as highlights of a day usually go, but it's hugely significant for me. Because:
-it's a bar chord, and those are hard for someone with violin-trained fingers. I really thought for a long time that I might never be able to play them. And now I can play B, and I can switch to and from it in the context of other chords!
-it means I can play a LOT more things.
-it means there's hope that I will be able to play even more things.
-it's progress! BIG progress, and that's the kind of encouragement I really need right now.
Most of all, this B chord was basically a triumph of perseverance, which is just a fantastically motivating and self-rewarding feeling all at once. Onward and upward!
