Oh the body...

I'm becoming less and less steady in my posts here. Sometimes it's hard to do when no one seems to pay attention. Mind you, reading about my journey down this road is not the most thrilling read every. But enough of the mindless banter, onwards we say!

I haven't practiced much this week, due to an ailing body. If I wasn't who I was or what I am, this would not be a problem. But sometimes the body refuses to do what it must. So I really felt the lack of practice this week. My body is still a little shifty, and off. The sugar-y things that I had eaten are coming back to haunt me. It's annoying. I am a fairly healthy person, just I love the sugared items available to me. I won't lie I could do with more of the fruits and veggies for my sugar fix. In fact right about now, I'm craving a more balanced diet.

It's amazing that the body knows exactly what it needs and isn't afraid to tell us. We just need to be listening to it more.

Taking stock

It's amazing what taking a chance can bring about. Maybe it's a chance to show off, to say look what I did, or maybe it's a chance to say wow. I can really say that performing at the Kiwanis Music festival did give me something. It gave me an idea that maybe I can do this crazy adventure. Suffering from extreme anxiety over any sort of personal interaction, be it performing or just talking to strangers, this was a large and monumental step. It is even having an effect of my practicing, I find myself going from approaching songs with more confidence, I may not be completely comfortable singing in front of people, but baby steps, my friend, baby steps.

I'm enjoying the process, but still wonder what the end result will truly be.
