I been usually posting on Classical Music and Catholicism n Orthodox Christianity

Still have my Faith.
But, approaching the brink of my endurance. Haven't turned on the TV since April.

Some of you know that ny husband of 46+ years died suddenly and unexpectedly in 2019 of cardiac arrest.
Sure I grieved him, but did not fall apart.
Then this past March my sweet girl dog passed away next to me in bed early one morning. This has really done me in. It is not unheard of. She was my comfort, my joy. Now all material possessions in my life mean nothing.

I have health issues that haven't subsided. Then added new ones compound my well being.

So, what I am attempting to say is that I do not forsee me posting anymore.

This is something I feel being led to do.

I truly love all of you dear ones here. And of course DU for being a conduit. I don't have family but some heaven sent people in my circle.

I first joined DU under another screen name in early 2002 after September 11, 2001. Finding it was a saving grace.

I would like to prayer wish:
Peace, Safety, Good Health, Prosperity, a Rewarding, Fulfilling Rest of 2025 Be Unto All.

I do hope you might feel like checking in again from time to time. But I won’t push.

Thanks for all your posts and comments, dear sprinkleeninow. We all learn so much from each other here. And we’re all the better and wiser for it.

For me, classical music is often an instrument of peace.
Your posts have been instruments of peace on DU.
Peace be with you
