You are absolutely correct. I spent years playing my guitar. Practicing, Playing before work at lunch at home. 21 yrs in the Navy I always had one with me. After retiring I got to pursue my dream. working in music stores, playing in bar bands and all of the fun that goes along with that, and then eventually teaching. Now i play six days a week 5 to 6 hours a day. I never play at home or to relax. Building and flying planes has really filled the void and gets me outside and keeps my brain active..
