Struggling with the Guitar...I better stick with it

I own a guitar and one of my big goals in life is to learn how to play it. I can certainly make some noise but I have yet to (beyond a few random chords) been able to memorize anything or be able to actually put out something which could even roughly be considered music. I really hope I get the hang of this because I really want to be able to play some songs for the girls (and hopefully eventually a boy if not boys). I guess what it is really going to take is some hard work and perseverance. It is amazing to think sometimes about how something so simple as learning an instrument can have a greater and more profound affect on you life and your make up as a person. If I for instance was able to persevere and learn the guitar I could definitely take that new found talent and apply to another area of need in my life. I guess then for my greater good I should definitely stick to the guitar and I am sure that I will be not only blessed with some awesome tunes but maybe even a life that could be considered superior and definitely more fulfilling. I definitely need to apply the perseverance thing in my quest to become a more healthy and fit person, although I am happy to announce that I have lost 35 pounds over the last six weeks of diet and exercise, I do feel a lot better as well. I guess I am rambling on into the night which can definitely mean one thing, I need some sleep, until next time....Nick
