Somewhat OT/Anita-Classical music

Hi Barbara,

I am sorry to hear that you have had to give up so much that is important to

you. I guess you are in the right place, I think that is probably true of a

lot of the people on this list. I understand what you mean about having to

avoid some things that 'remind you of your losses'. You can start a spiral into

a deep dark hole if you start looking at your losses too long. :-)

Most of the time I am able to focus on trying to improve and find a way to

hold onto what I can still do. Most of the time. :-)

Glad you are hanging in there...

Adam
