I'm accompanying a choir in concert tonight. I've been their pianist for the past nearly 20 years. The music we're performing tonight is lovely. It stirs my soul.
But I have been tired and sluggish all day
Wheezy too. I want to enjoy this musical experience tonight. Musical performance is like surfing. Hooping on the board, catching the wave and just being in each glorious moment while it lasts.
I've never surfed. But I've watched surfers. And I imagine the exhilaration they feel when they ride the wave. Even when they crash, they get back up and paddle furiously to catch the next one.
In fact, some of life's most glorious moments are like that. I struggle with anxiety and depression. So a good musical wave is what heals me.
If only I could remain there. Perhaps that will have to wait for the next life. I imagine that is what heaven will be like. Eternal waves of bliss.
But back to my wheezy, miserable state. I managed to pull myself up. I did one early morning hoop session before lunch with my mother. I had a short nap after babysitting my granddaughter. Then another hoop session after I praticed my piano.
I am feeling quite good now. Sipping tea with ginger and doing my breathing exercises. Tonight should be fun!
I will let you know tomorrow.
Happy Tuesday!
Love,
Zita
