Ah Laurie.... it's bad enough not being able to do the "general" things such as cooking, keeping in touch with relatives,driving etc., as we age and have illness (I feel so useless)... but for me, who cannot draw a dog or play a piano or sing etc., it must be terribly hard to not be able to continue things like being an artist, pianist, etc.... things people have achieved and are almost "part of them." Has anyone written a short book about being prepared for this new life of illness and in my case, aging? Well I think you are allowed to talk about how sad it is to not be able to do the things you used to but also to discuss the illnesses and health issues you have gone through.... we all know what its like to "just" have a bad cold or break an arm type thing but you have overcome vry serious things and it must have taken all your inner strength to just get through it all... bless you. 💙🌺💙

@lacy2 . Thankyou, Lacy, for your lovely post. It feels good to receive your kind of understanding. I'm not that good at singing, though.
When I lived in Winnipeg, Canada, my Grade Six music teacher bent her ear to each of us to listen to whether we could sing on key or not. Winnipeg had a huge annual music festival for school children and I REALLY wanted to participate with all my singer friends. The decision was, through my tears, that I could ATTEND the festival, but I was only allowed to move my lips, and not spoil the chance of our class to win in the choir competition.
WELL, I fooled them. I burst into song with the rest of 'em!! And we WON!
HA!!! lol
Warmest regards.
Laurie
