I've made my Rog promise to cremate everything of mine which he or my children and friends don't want. (I don't like the idea of anything I've held dear just going into a rubbish heap or sent off to charity, though I have no problem doing either as I live and breath!:-)I 'spose that could include a lot of paper, but I tend to shred on a regular basis.

Nigel, I hope there will be a way for us to hear your composition, soon. When I first started writing for publication etc., I found my best stuff came out of great strife, joy, or challenges. The high emotions fed the creative muse. Now, for my own sake, it's better that I do it as a matter of course, though there are still those *sparks* which guide and inspire. I am glad you have found such an outlet as you, Ann, and Jane go through these rough seas.

With thanks givings for ease of hearts, minds, and spirits,
