Ding! Ding! Ukulele.




My partner gave me a ukulele in celebration of eleven years together. He thinks this little red instrument embodies my spirit because even bumping into the strings makes a happy sound. Making music intimidated me, but the ukulele is impossible to resist. I awkwardly strummed out Somewhere Over the Rainbow on my first day. Scott so patiently held notes until I could change chords.
Someday I'll wish upon a starrrrrr (G chord is so awkward. Come on ring finger get up there.) And wake up where the clouds are far... 
My fingers have callouses now, and we sing even when I don't strum. Mmm, the magic of music.
