I could not help thinking that the reasons why I did not feel on top of the world today were linked to all the happy birthday parties we used to share and celebrate when my parents were alive! Mum used to cook a nice meal,which she did it all herself having been trained to economise throughout the war years. The presents were usually home made, either knitted by Mum or embroidered by me, often scarves and handkerchieves and also little drawings or paintings made by us. My stepfather would have been 97 years old today. Mum left us ten years ago. It seems such an eternity and yet it is yesterday.
There are moments we all have to go through which are not easy. For me words are not quite as suited to express the complexity of feelings as the music is.
Music for sorrow or huge pains or just what is felt in one's heart like a mist shadowing the light is always the melody of the cello.

Soothing songs.
