Hello, I am also 81 years old. Still pretty active although not working. Just working in my home course and my yard. I guess I'm sorry to hear that you are being troubled because of something that happened 40 years ago. None of us are perfect we have all made mistakes in prior years. You have to learn to forgive yourself for whatever it is. Consider that you have made it through the last 40 years and you're still doing well. Try to dwell on positive things. Realize none of us are perfect. I sure hope you can work through this I think you can you must be pretty strong you're still working. Take care

@ajnos yes, I agree, you are pretty strong if still working, but the emotional component is something more…as humans, we all fall short and make mistakes that make us wish we could turn the clock back….as a musician, I know mistakes will happen in performance, but the music must go on…I prefer to see mistakes as opportunities for learning and that really helps—self-forgiveness is really important.
