Every year around new year's I put together a goal list--a long list of new year's resolutions I want to accomplish during the year. For example, one of my goals this year was to exercise 150 days out of the year. I'm on day 134 right now, so if I keep up the current pace i think i'll make it to 150 by 12/31. I keep a list of my goals in my pocket and check things off as I go. I'm feeling really good about progress toward this year's goal list!
One of this year's goals was to restart piano lessons (after taking the last 17 years off). Last April, I started taking piano lessons again and I've been surprised by how quickly piano basics have come back to me. For the first time ever, I'm working on learning some clasical music--mostly Chopin. This past week, I had the first recital of my life--along with a bunch of young kids that take from my teacher. It was fun to perform a song that took a few months to learn, and i'm really happy that i decided to take piano lessons again. Click here to listen to my recital song.

Way to go Blake! Christian and I are very impressed and you've inspired me to pick up your music tomorrow. I think I played a simplified version of it as a kid. I love Chopin. Keep up the great work!
I wish I could of been there to hear it. I'm proud of you.
You are awesome Blake! It's been so fun to listen to you play the piano while we've all been home! You are one talented dude!
You never cease to amaze me Blake, love the ideas of keeping your goals in your pocket, maybe I should try that and I will get something accomplished! Can't wait to see you again.
Hey! Had fun seeing you the other day at Disneyland. I think that it's awesome that you restarted piano lessons. I want to do that too, sooo bad! I am not as advanced as you are, but I love music and have a good ear. Love the song that you played by Chopin! Keep it up. You are very talented.
