It is absolutely brilliant that after the week I had last week, that this weekend should be full of singing. We rehearsed all afternoon for our Christmas gig yesterday, and as a result sounded awesome, it's always so good to be the bringers of so much joy. I felt so lucky after, to be part of something so amazing. I don't think it is just luck tho. I know there's so much we don't have a say over, the crappy situations we can find ourselves in, but there are still choices within that crappiness. I had to work really hard this week to stay positive at times but I mainly managed it and I think it makes a big difference. Everytime I noticed something warmth giving - a radiator, the hot belly of the dog, or snuggly scarf, I gave thanks for the warmth.
As well as singing my favourite thing is being in the arms of those I love - my kids, my best friends, my boyfriend, or I'm somewhat surprised to discover, my hound. I often wish I had more opportunities to be with those I love when circumstances dictate that I'm not. But maybe by not being with them all the time I get to appreciate the time I do have more? So I enjoyed my night cuddled up with the dog I never really wanted anyway, and it was very lovely B-)
I hope you can feel lucky today too!
