in harmony

I love harmony. Like a lot of folk I know, I'm not a fan of conflict, thought I do understand we're all different and that contrasting opinions can bring about healthy debate etc etc. Best for me tho is when people are happy and getting along, and best of all is when we sing and we each have our own notes that together sound amazing. Harmony at its best.
I had a very very lovely afternoon yesterday inspired by my Friday night choir, unearthing various a cappella songs. We sometimes sing without a keyboard on a wednesday and the leader says that smiling is a necessity as it changes our palette and if we don't smile we don't stay in key. I know from experience it can be hard to sing an "ooooh" whilst simultanteously smiling. I also know that when I sing alongside those I love, it is hard not to smile.
So it's only Tuesday but I'm already looking forwards to both Wednesday and Friday. And because I'm not a believer in wishing our lives away, I will not be waiting to sing. Will you sing along with me?
