Courtney was in a slump...

Courtney was in a slump. She had no intellectual stimulation around her, no social life, and no happiness. She was tired of being tired and going through her life aimlessly. So she decided to do something different. She learned to play the piano. While that doesn't sound like a big deal, it was to Courtney. For twenty years she had wanted to learn to play, and she decided now that her children were grown she was going to learn. Courtney couldn't read music, but she knew the tunes of hymns and she marked the pages of the hymnbook. Slowly, she learned to play the tunes.
