Yes, I think there's something more to it when it's part of your identity, you know? I was so lucky to have found the writer bit of me before I lost the pianist bit of me. The journey you went through sounds so much more heartbreaking and difficult. But that is SO COOL about how you found yourself again! That is WAY cool. I'm going to put that story "in my pocket" and remember it when I'm struggling. Thanks, Kristy! Wow, Kristy. Yes, I think there’s something more to it when it’s part of your identity, you know?

I didn't know that about you. Btw, I often bookmark places you talk about on your blog for my travels. :-) It's true: I do wonder why I waited so long for this! Barbara, that’s cool!

I like the way you put that: "where who they used be sloughs off and they are slowly morphed into a new identity." That's exactly what it's like! Although we tend to realize in specific moments. :-) I love the way you put that! Lauren, you’re right.

I always thought that would be the coolest trick to learn! I'm so sorry about the hearing, though. That's awful! I know you appreciate music, even if you're not a musician! Seriously, Aimless?

Was it an accident? Or is there a story attached? Oh man, that would be hard to forgive, no? Oh G, I can't imagine losing the ability to walk. There's something I definitely take for granted. :-( Whacked in the head with a golf club, G? Was it an accident? Or is there a story attached? Oh man, that would be hard to forgive, no?
