Get on your feet!

I'm really trying to get up and back to normal life, and some days it is better than others. One day this week we had 12 visitors come to the house in one day. At one time, there were three teenage boys in my living room playing electric guitar, three pre-teens online playing Club Penguin, and four young adults sitting on the front porch laughing. My house is only 600 sq. ft. The sound bounces about and especially if amps are involved with the electric guitar. I had to go in my room, turn the fan on high for white noise and lie in bed trying to calm my brain.

I feel fragile still... after church, a woman came up to me and asked me if I have a CD of my music because she misses hearing me sing. I broke into tears and thanked her for her kind words.

The good news is that I can now sing again and will be leading worship on May 23rd for the first time. It takes a lot of concentration and I cannot lead a choir anymore, because I can't hear all the different parts. I'm working on getting myself on-key and hearing myself for now. It's tough. I miss the natural singing I used to be able to do.
