One thing I've found about this process - after being rejected by your long-time love, nothing else looks scary at all! I took up the drums and will be playing in front of a large audience next weekend with my amateur rock band. And next month I will be on tour on the East Coast playing the glockenspiel for my very talented singer-songwriter best friend. And although I am strictly an amateur and have a lot to learn about my craft, I figure I'm doing pretty darn good for a 54 year old novice, and as long as I don't make any gigantic mistakes, I feel I've done well!
