A Master of None

I'm tired this morning. Mostly because I stayed up strumming on my guitar. Its been collecting dust for a while. I started playing the guitar about 2 1/2 years ago and only really passionately pursued playing for about 6 months. Life kind of gets in the way. So I have been delinquent for about 2 years. But some folks at my job were just jamming in the office after work and it made me want to pick up my guitar. I was about to leave work the other day and I hear music, and on my way out I follow it and come up on 4 of my coworkers, one including my director (my office is full of cool folks) just jammin. My office mate plays the fiddle too, I saw her play yesterday. I went to a blue grass concert last weekend, and I am not even into blue grass, but it was fun to see people showcasing their talent and in their element. So I picked up my guitar last night trying to remember some of the few chords and trying to remember some songs I learned. It was relaxing, but I am sure I wont pick it up for another year, especially since school is starting. But it was nice to remember, and to even look forward to a year or so down the line, when I could pursue it again more fully and learn to play well. That thought is exciting. But for now I am trying to loan it to my friend so that it wont collect dust, while I am pre-occupied. Isnt it funny how so many things in our life that we were passionate about at one point just get put to the side and begin collecting dust. I wish I had one thing that I would have stuck to and mastered. Something I specialized in or a natural talent that was cultivated. I'm a generalist though and I get bored easily and move to the next thing. A person who knows a little bit of this and little bit of that. Or as my mother would say "A jack of all trades and a master of none"
