Anyway, the holidays have kicked in, and I've already had some fun times. I went to a church party a few weeks ago, and the teens put on some skits, but wow, that last one was amazing for someone that young to perform. I wish I could figure out how to download that, because it was truly touching. Last week, we also went to a local community location that did a large Christmas display. Lights are part of what I love about the holiday, and their display was awesome. They also had a statue garden all dedicated to the life of Christ with statues displaying so many popular stories from the bible. Those sculptures were truly amazing works of art, from the facial expressions, to the details of the settings.
As for my choir experience, yeah. I have been dealing with the anxiety lately, but if you haven't figured it out by now, that doesn't stop me. I suppose it's either one of my strengths, or one of my insanities, that I don't give in to the sensations of fear when I start to experience them. I keep trying to learn to work with it. I've decided to wipe out my dependence on sheet music, so that I can focus easier. I've been trying to experiment with letting go on the last practices, and whenever I do it, I sound so much better. I can't tell you enough how uncomfortable this is for me. It's not my natural place, but I'm still going for it. I figure if it doesn't turn out the perfect way that I would like it to, at least it will be imperfection in all its glory.
I need to go, but had to drop a few words in. Thank you, and enjoy your holiday season!
