More on the Upcoming Topic: From providing a means of connection, community, coping, creative expression, and being a soundtrack to accompany moments of our lives, music can be really important and powerful. Let’s come together to talk about the impact music can have on our mental health, and how we can use it as a tool to help.

Sorry @TideisTurning , @Former-Member 

Too shaken up tonight to be involved,  sorry 

We were nearly involved in 2 accidents 

[tyme]

Oh no @Shaz51 - I'm so sorry to hear!

I hear you are shaken. Was this on the way to visit mum?

If you don't feel you want to discuss it, that's totally okay. I just want to make sure you feel supported and are both mentally and physically supported.

Waiting to hear from you,

tyme

Hello @tyme ❤

No on our way to our second job for the day  and this truck started to pass us and another car in front of us and with cars coming in the opposite direction 

He pulled in nearly pushing us off the highway and nearly smashing in to the car in front of us 

And then 5 minutes later he had to slam on his brakes so he didn't run over the car in front of us 

We were behind the truck 

Then we finally got to our second job and could not do it because there was no water or power 

[tyme]

Oh no..... @Shaz51 . My heart is racing just reading what you have written. I can only imagine how shaken you and Mr Shaz are.

Please rest up. I'll see you around on the forums, tyme

[Shaz51]

Thank you @tyme 

Was not sure writting this here would be OK ❤❤

[Appleblossom]

The roads do not feel as "safe" as they were around here either @Shaz51 

Hope you both settle down alright.

Here is a share. A band I had never heard of Pollyanna
