I play the piano too :) :hug:

Hi, pink kitty! :) So there we are, playing the piano on opposite sides of the pond! I tend to ponder a lot. III II III II (plinkity- plink-plink) :hug: :boy(music):

I don't mind at all. I guess I even welcome it. do the voices make you feel lonely. so sorry about the insomnia. I suffer from it too. Here good sleep is so important.
Love and kisses

Bobby, you are so sweet & precious! And you continually surprize me. Generally, I never get lonely, because I love being alone so I can do the things I crave to do, which are loner type things, reading, learning, writing, meditating, wondering, art things, music, communicating with God, the cells within the ecosystem of my own body. But yes, my voices do make me feel lonely sometimes. I have lost the privacy of my own mind. It was a special place of my very own, a place for creativity that gave me such pleasure. They don't understand, even though they, themselves, are very creative. I feel alone because I feel so misunderstood, while I, myself, continually try so hard to understand them. And I will keep trying! :hug: :circlelove: Hugs & love to you Bobby!

that must be so hard. You do really enjoy so many positive things! Do you write poetry? what are the types of books you read? what is your favorite instrument?
i tend to be an introvert except when i used to play a lot of racket sports.
love and kisses

Yes, I've written poetry since childhood. I have a very wide range of books, ancient Greek literature, English & other classics, philosophy, science, spirituality, self-help, astronomy & nature. I don't have a favorite instrument. I love many instruments, solo & together in an orchestra. I also love it when a movie has a great musical score. I love going to the movies. I miss that. Do you? Do you have DVDs? Do you play music? What about video games? I don't have any. I think about it. I don't have a computer. I use a flip cell phone that has a brouser on it. I hope you're feeling a bit better. :hug: :circlelove: Hugs & love!

I love good musical scores too. :) And I also miss going to the movies, although we don't really do it that often. Still, it was one of those things H and I could enjoy together (when I don't pick a bad one. *rolls eyes. I see his crappy movies all the time and still try to enjoy them for his sake. :/ ) Ugh! Sorry! We really need to get out to the movies again and see a great movie we both can enjoy to remove this negative stigma. Virus, be gone already! :)

Thank you GeeLuv! :) I'll be crossing my fingers for you. It's really something to look forward to. The whole experience at the movies, the trailers/coming attractions, the anticipation before the movie begins, the dimming of the lights, then the movie. I hope you will find a movie you both enjoy. :boy(music): :circlelove:

wow you have such a rich inner life. so wonderful. I was a Latin major and studied Greek but read so little in Greek literature. I love music. I belong to Amazon Prime Music and Premium you tube. For a while now all I have been listening to is Josh Groban. I love his voice and wonder if he is bipolar. In an interview he said he suffers from anxiety and depression and isolation and always is accompanied by his adorable old dog, I used to love going to movies. One of my favorites was Good Will Hunting. Now they are so expensive and I stopped checking them out. Last time I tried to see a comedy with a friend,I had to take a cab cause I can't walk much because of a stroke and wound up collapsing. Two lovely men helped me to get into a cab. My friend had seen me and got in the cab and I went home. I used to be so athletic.. When I was little I tried the piano and violin. My piano teacher said I was gifted but my mother had bought a used piano that was never in tune and I couldn't take it.
My older sister, now dead, made a fuss of me practicing on the violin and kept on wanting me to play outdoors so that stopped. I still love the old musicals!
I love Cat Stevens and Gordon Lightfoot and Tom Petty and there are others.
every day for hours I listen to Josh Groban now/ I use a desktop and have a cheap smartphone. The stroke affected my hand coordination so I am hopeless on the smart phone. I also used to be an assembly programmer.
Love and kisses

Hey Bobby! just jumping in on this as well.

We had an awful piano growing up too, Out of tune and or also missing some keys (or they were dead anyway). Sooo frustrating!! lol Dad still plays it though.

Interesting about Josh possibly having bipolar. I suspect that of one or more of the artists I follow. One actually does have it. You likely not be familiar with him, but he's also written a couple of memoirs. In a way, he turned his life around similarly to Cat Stevens. "With Eyes Wide Shut" (i think is the title) is the one I read about that life change. He wrote another book before that, but I forget the content (didn't read it). The artist/author is Brian "Head" Welsch (he's a guitarist in the Nu-metal band, Korn hehe) He's such an adorable person, very lively. (I had to watch an interview after I enjoyed his story so much. forget what the interview was about though, but he was bouncing around in his seat like Tigger from Winne the Pooh. haha) Oh, maybe I was curious because he was coming to town for a book signing. I didn't go though.
