I don't think this particular instance was anything but a phrase that triggered a memory of how I used to cope with my over-scheduled, "woman's work is never done" life when I was in my late 30s-early 40s.

I do understand you....do you think that it is a kind of mild PTSD? I mean suffering over a long period of time can have an open wound affect I feel . Mostly we don't notice afterwards, but then as you say, something opens that wound wider and we feel the pain.

Yes, things do catch a person off guard.
I too sang when no one was listening, and I imagined that my voice was absolutely wonderful and would take me far in this world. LOL

Yes well if we had good voices we could sell our books be famous poets or be auctioneers.
I wonder how many sing and are told to shut up Pat. I still feel your little tears.
