She Sang
“He says you have GREAT PITCH and he can’t wait for the first lesson!”
She was quoting her music teacher husband and they were talking about me.
ME
! ! ! ! !
I. Have. GREAT. PITCH.
& if he was just being super nice cause he’s a super nice guy
or if he was telling a little, bitty bit of the purest of white lies,
even if he was fudging the truth a wee smidgy smidge.
shhhhhh
Don’t tell me !
I don’t want to know.
I have been waiting to hear those two simple words for forever
&
there they are.
My day made, my life complete.
YaY
As many of you know because I’ve mentioned it a zillion times, I am pretty convinced I was a singer in another lifetime
& not just a singer.
I mean SINGER !!
Opera-ish.
Come for miles to hear me-ish.
Magnificent-ish.
You name it.
That was me.
Unfortunately, the word of the day is WAS.
Another time.
Another place.
was.
rats
The thing is, my inner self is still very much convinced the melodious me still exists.
She’s here.
She’s now
& so,
I sing.
To no one in particular, although children and babies seem to tolerate me best
& I do belt out a rather awesome birthday song to the select few who are privy but, I’ve never been in a choir or class.
Never felt the need to stretch out or reach further because, I don’t know,
because I haven’t.
That’s a good enough excuse, right ?
I just haven’t.
But.
She lives
The songbird is there.
Way, wayyyyy down inside, hunkered and huddled for years, trapped and longing to be free, there
& now, my mind has me thinking maybe ?
Maybe.
Oh & if you are wondering the point of my today rambles ?
No worries.
I’ll tell you.
Say It.
Speak it.
Kind words, I mean.
If you’re feeling the need to express even the smallest of compliments, do.
Please do.
Don’t hold anything back because you might just open a door, alternate
a path, ignite that spark.
Those uncomplicated words said by a music teacher to his wife have altered my thought process.
Someone in this great, big, wonderful world thinks I have GREAT PITCH
& THAT will surely change the way I will hear me sing from now on.
Kind words.
Dontcha just LOVE kind words ?!!??
I know I doooooooooo ! ! she sang ! !
🙂
