The truth of a practice log...

Since September 2012, I have kept a daily practice log for my trumpet.  At the end of every year, I total up the number of days that I did not touch my trumpet.  Each year the total shocks me.

As 2014 came to an end, I totaled up the number of days that I didn't play my trumpet.  When I looked at the total, I was speechless.  There were a total of 100 days in 2014 where I didn't play my trumpet.  I am ashamed that the total is that high...but it explains a lot.

So, as the new year begins, I am making a goal that at the end of 2015, my total number of days without playing will be no greater than 30.  That means that I am allowed two rest days a month, plus six extra days for when I absolutely can not practice.
