Maybe it isn't apathy Maxine but just life keeping you occupied in other areas, for example having and bringing up our families, getting on with our careers and fullfilling the other things on our to do list. You can sometimes only do what you can do, and if you look at what you have achieved I am sure there has been loads.
I have always wanted to learn the piano, had one in the house until about a couple of years ago, both the children learnt how to play, and I ......polished it with Mr Sheen! but I bought music to listen to which gave me lots of pleasure. Wanted to learn a language and went to night school to learn Italian, but then developed other hobbies like dancing, so apart from putting a CD in the car and listening to it whilst driving, when would I have the time? I have tried to find a Spanish night school class, but they are all exam based, and I don't want to do any more study in my life. Wanted to learn golf, and not really giving up on that one yet ,but when I get around to it hey!! Still want to do a parachute jump, still want to go to Russia, see the Great Wall of China, explore Israel, [have been to Jerusalem and Bethlehem], still want to get better at tango, still want still want............will keep on trying until life gives me a window. I don't think its all to do with apathy, because if we really want to do something we will make the time for it,to which I am sure you have in particular with your dancing for example. I think its more about making time and fitting everything into our already really busy, and dare I admit, otherwise fun filled lives.
p.s being the nosey crow that I am what present did you buy?
