I thought I'd start a discussion where we can check in with members and use this space to keep in contact. It's a space to be able to say how you really feel and it's a space for the good, the bad and the ugly moments in our lives.

My mother did the haughty and hard and teaching piano thing. I always tried to be warmer friendlier, but also better trained. Have not taught for 2 years, but started at zoo to get some outside contact and input.

The teaching got tricky with my son @TAB
He wanted me to show him how and give him opportunities, which I did, but we were too isolated and I was in pain, and I let pvt studio wind down. I would have done anything to get him upskilled, but it was better he worked musically with other people, which he has been doing for last 3 years. Before that we were getting inbred.
We will see what happens with this volunteer rock camp in Jan. It might be fun. Financially we are stable except plumbing ... and big water bills ... leaks ...
Also I have had to face facts that I was not well and always feeling I had to run a professional operation was a terrible strain.
I had student concerts well attended for 10 years etc ... so if that becomes a positive memory that is alright too.
That my osteo just told me she never thought I would be able work in any capacity is telling ..

@CheerBear Would it help to talk or did you just need to get it out on the worryroom. I’m guessing last nights conversation didn’t go so well.
