yup Rosie...for sure and hanging around with folks 1/2 yer age who accept you as a peer sure helps as well...that's why I've cultivated nada but young musician friends since my marriage collapsed....all my old friends have really non productive patterns of repeating mistakes and the youngsters make creative new ones at least

 

Once in a while I look around,
I see a sound
and try to write it down
Sometimes they come out very soft
Tinkling light sound
The Sun comes up again
