So good you chose to write here again. Envy you your daughter''s entertaining endeavours, (though I know I shouldn't envy), and the pleasure you obviously get both from what they produce and the beauty of them doing so.
I'm sure that you have it right when you promote doing / creating but I have to admit that I find it difficult now for many reasons which are irrelevant. Your words are supportively inspiring and ring true - I know I must simply *start*, rather than give in to those things that stop me. I know, because when I do, I feel a satisfaction afterwards that lifts me, as opposed to the ever more downward spiral when I *don't*.
So, thank you - a great message for the start of a new year - though I'm not really one in favour of artificial divisions in the continuity of time - I am now motivated to start and will do so.
That you can write so well and evidently in myriad forms, I envy too. I struggle to do more than comment ....
I will you more strength to your arm and, as someone who has enjoyed the saxophone, (played by others), for around 50 + years, More strength to your daughter's fingers and lips, too - I tried for some time to play one but as much as I value what music has brought to my life, I can't play it.
As they say, "Keep on keeping on," especially when it comes to things like writing. I have been trying to play the guitar now for a while and, well, I'm just not all that great, so I hear you on that. (And sax seems harder to me--such a beautiful instrument.)

Take care. Stay safe.
