For a while I have tried to find a thread I had started when I joined the forum that could be a "home" thread for me.
Being busy about the forum has been a coping style, where I can acknowledge all my different life experiences that had been silenced. Possibly do some good and prevent things from getting worse. Like the little boy with the finger in the dyke.

I loved Picasso and Dali in particular. 🤗💜

It was actually a good weekend. Got a lot done, and so did my son. We both did lots of music, but he [ed. darn predictive txt] is working on doing a job for the house each day and its beautiful watching him sticking at it.
I read you had fridge stop today. Bummer.

@Appleblossom I sing. Done many solo's for graduations weddings etc. love listening also. Unfortunately when things get rough, even music doesn't help. I used to play the guitar. Had to give up, arthritis in my hands. I've read you sing in choirs, I've done a little of that and loved it also. Though I'm no longer into religious stuff, I still love the music. It's goes beyond labels I think. Hope you're travelling okish. I know this thread is for when you are low.
