"I have my own particular sorrows, loves, delights; and you have yours. But sorrow, gladness, yearning, hope, love, belong to all of us, in all times and in all places. Music is the only means whereby we feel these emotions in their universality."
~H.A. Overstreet
I'm in. I did it. I faced my nerves and auditioned for a chorale.
Tonight was my first audition in about 10 years. It was a real audition too. They tested my range, had me pitch matching, I sang my audition piece, and sight read. I still stink at sight reading. It doesn't matter if you throw a random page of notes at me, or an excerpt from a German piece. I suck at sight reading, but, no matter. I pick up on things quickly, and I'm in the chorale. Rehearsals start next week. So Mondays, which are already busy, just got busier and I couldn't be more thrilled.
There are so many aspects of my life that are good right now. I'm doing so well on practically every front. Things just seem to be falling into place as if they were just meant to happen exactly in this specific way.
There is just one part of my life right now that has some turmoil. I'm taking a good hard look at the kids' overnight visitation. Due to a change in circumstances, I feel even less comfortable with the idea of the kids spending the night with their dad. I was never too keen on the idea before, but there wasn't any reason for me to stop the visits. Now I'm left with even more unrest, and lack of an idea about what my next step will be. Hopefully my attorney will be able to steer me in the right direction and my kids will be able to remain safe on their visits with their father.
