Amen to that; it is miraculous how small the World has become!How quickly time passes!It amazes and blesses me that the internet enables us to have groups like this where we can have good friendships, over such a period of time, living in different parts of the world.
lovely, glad you are feeling better.
I used a tape recorder in the 70's to record the second flute part, then play it back while I played first flute with it.
I loved trip-p-lets, ha ha, and trills....
Ah, that was almost 4 decades ago.
whats the little note you can play as an option right before the printed note on the music?
is that a grace note?

Welcome to CF and GE 50+Hello. New to this site, not even sure if I'm allowed to post yet. I'm in the low 50's. After a traumatic event, coupled w/ myriad health issues, I confronted an existential crisis. Well, "crisis" makes it sound dramatic. I'm clawing my way back and I hope I find a way to experience joy. The church has been a great solace previously, but the emptiness is all encompassing. Yeah, I'm a drag. I wonder if anyone has an experience with this type of malady of the soul?
Hi HansPeter, welcome to GE; it's nice to see you here and I hope you find this a pleasant forum to belong to. I am sorry that you have been having such a difficult time but I firmly believe that you can receive joy; there is always hope with God. BTW you are not a drag.
I don't think I've had an existential crisis, but I've had many years of deep depression, caused primarily by bereavement and also a wrong view of God.In my case the Lord identified the cause of the depression and led me to grieve my losses, and although grief is painful I believe it to be a necessary part of the healing process. Seeing how kindly the Lord dealt with me gave me a more accurate view of Him, particularly as He highlighted where I had gone wrong in my thinking, and I now know Him as loving and good.
It was also about the time that I joined CF, and having people here and being able to post 24/7 helped too.There are all sorts of forums on various issues, so we can post on serious things, but there is also light fellowship as you can see from some of our threads here. I hope you are similarly blessed and I will add you to my prayer diary.
Thank you for your kindness. It's a "me" problem, no doubt. I could always rely on my gumption, wit and stamin. Now those things are diminished or absent. I have not adapted to what I contend with currently, let alone the fast forward to exponentially worse problems, ergo: why bother? I will try to take this Sunday to impel some forward momentum.Welcome to CF and GE 50+
I am sorry you are having trials; it seems it is a right of passage at some pint on our earthly journey.
At least it was for me when I was your age, going through loss and illnesses....and still rises up in me at times even now when times are tough.
The Lord allows it for our spiritual and emotional growth, but it can be painful.
The only way out is THROUGH....with the Lord's light and grace....and the JOY will follow if you keep your eyes on HIM.
Praying He is your strength, hope, Presence, and peace ~ God bless
Keep the faith ~ this will pass and you will emerge strongerThank you for your kindness. It's a "me" problem, no doubt. I could always rely on my gumption, wit and stamin.
