The rededication to practice is going well.  In the last 2 weeks I have practiced every day but one.  I am really starting to get comfortable with A, D, and E chords and changing between them.  I am now starting to work on some strumming while playing those chords.  I am feeling pretty proud of myself for sticking with it and have my mind set into a habit to where at a certain time of day it is guitar practicing time...which is very beneficial.  Before I just did it whenever the mood struck me, now I have pretty much the same time of day set aside for guitar every day.
