I wonder what I would do...
I wonder what I would do if I didn't "do" music. If I wasn't in choirs and bands throughout my whole life. If I didn't have the ability to sing. If I didn't spend the hours and hours in rehearsal, or practicing myself, or teaching voice lessons. What would I do?
Today was one of those days that I was so very happy to do what I do. I took my choir from church to a nursing home to carol where two members of our congregation are currently residing. Both are those kind of people who always have a smile on their face.
One of them is currently in hospice. She has a tumor on her brain. I find myself having a hard time believing that this funny, happy, active woman, is now suddenly dealing with this illness. The only thing that was ever wrong with her is that she is a Steelers fan ;) I am so very glad that we got to sing for everyone, but I am really glad that we got to sing for her. The smile on her face made my day. I am so very glad I do what I do.

And you do it so well, too!
Oh I would love to hear you sing!
Some of my happiest moments in high school were singing in choir.
I'm glad your talent has brought you such joy!! :0)
I'm glad you do what you do too!!
This makes me so happy. I remember a conversation we had in Myrtle Beach the summer you graduated from high school - you were worried about how to transform your love of music into a career. You've done a wonderful job of doing what you love!
That is awesome.
PS, Go Steelers!
Erin should be ashamed for lowering the standard of this blog!
That makes it all worthwhile doesn't it? :)
Go Browns!
and GO MARIE!!
I think doing what you love is the wisest, most loving choice of all. :) I wish I could hear you sing too!
BINGO, why I'm finishing up my Master's in music therapy. :-) The way the brain processes music is amazing, and makes it such a powerful tool for change and healing.
I like your banner. I liked it when I saw it on your tree. Pretty. Nice Picture.
What an amazing way to use your gifts to bring someone joy, Marie :)You are a treasure :)
