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.

@Appleblossom Beautiful Easter Sunday post. I started writing a journal today. I find it quite soothing. It is also practical that I can do it at home while dementia mum in the other room. It is relaxing and restful. Great you have your music.

Tonight on the train home I had a very sensitive discussion about church, music, groups and singing with a lady from one of my choirs. It was good.
