begin and never cease

I'm not a pub person, but I enjoyed a time of joy yesterday belting out "whilst shepherds watched their flocks". It's to a special tune that I think was written especially for singing in pubs and it really was good to sing it with such gusto to a packed bar. I really enjoyed that moment particularly, but the entire session was fun.

The whole weekend has been full of intense singing, it's a wonder I have any voice left today. Still two gigs to go before Christmas, I also enjoyed an almost flashmob element to the church nativity yesterday when I donned a tinsel halo and several of us stood as angels. And Saturday night the dancing in the aisles at Preston Minster was also very joyous indeed. Our choir leader often sings as the spirit leads and we had several what I call scooby doo endings, where we think we've finished then start up again. It all sounded good in all 3 different places. I'm lucky to do so much of what I love.

Hope you too are getting plenty of opportunities to do what you love (is that not what life is?)
