Triggered in choir

goodness, 


at the beginning of choir "season" last fall, I overheard a conversation between a soloist alto and the young man becoming a priest about how great the dance community is. Felt upset. Also, sort of jealous of this alto. I wish I had a better voice.  I was grumpy towards her a few times and now I'm noticing she may not want to sit by me. Trying to be respectful and give her space because our choir needs her. I realized I was acting out in the past and tried to behave more nicely. 


It's very hard. The surgery, being assaulted, three deaths in a row last year, just feel overwhelmed.

Envy -the desire to possess- is even harder than jealousy for me, but I am a frequent flier. The desire to lose the hand I was dealt makes my fear of loss almost non-existent. It be the desire to have a better life which provides the zip to my flight drive.

A good choir needs every voice. Envy is a tough beast. Wanna borrow my whip and chair?

Yes, it is very hard. We have to deal with this, while others can go on with their lives. It is not our fault. We do what we can. One step at the time.

    I did the dumbest thing today.  I charged my earbuds, unplugged the block and put the block in my little bag instead of the earbuds.  I wasn't happy about that when I got to the gym.  What a dummy!
