I have not touched my violin in over a week

I have not touched my violin in over a week. Seeing the instrument collect the neglect was depressing. Even though I was not sure tonight, I ultimately chose to play it. There must be a break, or else things become monotonous. Even though I did not want to take such a long break, I am unable to do so anytime soon due to a health issue. In any case, I am somewhat relieved that it is playing in my hand once more today. Actually, it plays well today, and I am happy with it.
