VTam- I went years without writing, and it only began a couple of years ago when I escaped from years of chronic migraines. Friends here provide important encouragement; I also began to finish grieving for my dad and some other loved ones.

The first songs grew out of a lovely vivid dream. Others are old poems retuned to who I am today. Be patient with yourself; your words will emerge, and we will love to see your laughter in song.

SRS- How are you feeling today? Guaifenesin makes a difference for me- thins the mucus. Sage/raspberry leaf tea with honey has also helped me a lot.

Susan- Looking for "Pooltime" posts by Monday. Take care. Sleep.

Andrea- Hurt my back the same way. I hope yours is feeling better.

Maryanne- Care to say what songs you got from the songbook? Good for you finding it so soon.

Michelle- Keep breathing, find that pool of quiet inside you.

Kat- "Step be step, row by row" works for gardens and ourselves.

maeve, who needs sleep too.
