Bram,

Thank you!! I took a few lessons when I was around 8 yo. I loved it back then and since have always been drawn to them. So when I was trying to find things I could do to keep my sanity during the winter months and my mind occupied.. I thought of how wonderful it would be to learn to play. My only worry is how long I could tolerate sitting to actually play. My hope is that I will lose myself enough in it that I won't think about the pain

Amazing that you taught yourself!!! You must be one smart lady

I love that you named your Cello "Edward" that is funny! Oh have fun at your lesson and do let me know how it goes.

I think it is really important with this disease to find or create new passions so that depression and self worth doesn't get a chance to take hold! I truly appreciate all who take the time to respond. Shoot, it helps us learn a few things about each other.. a bonus!

My other goal this winter is to learn sign language (Vrae inspired). I really think that will be great therapy and who knows someday it could become quite useful.

Have a fantastic day Bram,
Tessa

Well, I am not as exciting as you guys are. We do not have any pets, nor can I play any instrument What helps me is watching TV, it is my escape from reality. What also helps is coming here I love my iPad and will play some games on it when my hands will allow.

lol Nanc.. I can't play an instrument either but I'm sure gonna try. Heck my husband sings me awake in the morning and even though I love it, it can be rather annoying.. so now I intend to make music for him haha maybe we will start a band!

What is your favorite show? You know you can learn an instrument on the iPad

you are too funny Tessa! Let me know when your new album drops Seriously though, I think it is great that you are going to take piano lessons. I got the garage band app on my iPad...really got it for my husband. My hands hurt too much to do much with it myself. I used to draw and scrapbook, can't do either anymore

I have so many "favorite" shows. True Blood, Revenge, Scandal, Grey's Anatomy, How I Met Your Mother, Big Bang Theory...it goes on...I love a good comedy!

Big Bang Theory!!!!! Grays Anatomy!!!! How I Met Your Mother!!!!! YAY!!!!!

Go Nanc! I love those shows. E4 is on a LOT in my house!

You can't beat a bit of escapism......like a good film does that too. I love Lost In Translation with Bill Murray, it's set in Japan, and it really is like a different world. Plus it's about 3 hours long lol

Bram.

Big Bang Theory is the best!!! So sad that this is the last season for How I Met Your Mother...but at least we will finally meet your mother!!

I have not seen that movie, not sure why. I have seen it on the movie channels lately. I will have to watch it...I like Bill Murray. There are my favorite movies that keep coming on and my husband can't believe that I keep watching them...Return to Me, Fools Rush In, A Walk in the Clouds....
