NOW YOU KNOW ALL!

 No more hanging back, Fiorella! Move FORWARD, FORWARD, FORWARD! Today you were able to play the piano again, and tomorrow you can conquer the world! 

Of course, the first thing on your girl's list is to get hold of a  more advanced pianist who can help her along the way--not that Fio is planning a musical career, but she wants to regain the skills she used to have for her own satisfaction. Unfortunately, she can't sing any more (throat surgery), but she can still compose music, which ties right in with her poetry and stories. 

The next thing is to change the way she faces the world. No more hiding in the back room, my girl! Instead, she has to talk to people, gather a passel of friends around herself--which will probably be a lot harder than locating a pianist. But never mind--Fiorellas attracted true believers before and she can do it again.

Because your girl gave up driving when she moved out of her house, her most difficult hurdle will probably be transportation. Fiorella isn't eager to start driving again, especially in what is now an unfamiliar city, and she doubts if there's anyone who wants to devote his/her time to carting her around full time. But who knows? 

Later on, Fio has to unpack her memories of past successes to bolster up her courage. After all, if she could be a newspaper correspondent, garner a PhD, Phi Beta Kappa, and Summa cum Laude, become a college teacher, president of the city's PTA, get two romances published, write and perform in various local musicals (plus a mini-opera that she composed), design a lovely house for her family, and sell her own art on the open market, she can surely manage a come-back or two.
