I Like
LeeAnna sure can come up with questions that make me think.
do you like to sing for yourself, or others?
do people recognize your ability or has anyone said you're not a singer?
Do you judge yourself or sing for yourself?
other suggestions: do you make up songs during the day, do you sing to
babies? are you more comfortable singing high or low?
I have a weird relationship with singing. I have been in a choir and a small group both when I was much younger. When I was in the small group we played for a friend's wedding. People came up to me afterwards and told me I have a beautiful voice. I never really trusted the compliments. Many times family members told me I sounded bad and that I shouldn't sing. Those times tend to stick in one's brain.
But both of those things can be true. I can have a nice voice but sing off-key. If I want to sound good I know I have to practice. I don't practice any more and I don't sing for anyone else any more. I don't sing very often but when I do it tends to be when I am alone and it doesn't matter if I am off-key. I do it for my own pleasure.
I am loving Librivox. My son told me about this site. It is full of free audiobooks that are out of copyright and read by volunteers. I love listening to the classics. Right now I am listening to Moby Dick. I know for sure that I would never plough through this book by reading it. Mostly I am enjoying it but like Dickens, Melville is rather too wordy for my taste.
I like my new haircut. My stylist kindly took a photo of me. I needed a good headshot. I should update my photos on social media, etc. Some of those photos are from more than 10 years and for some strange reason, I don't look the same anymore!

I like your new haircut, it suits you and you look so young and pretty.
I let negative comments carry more weight than the positive... we need both but should let the positive take center stage. Singing is joy released into the world and I say sing out! I hear plenty of singers on tv who use auto tune because they are off key.
My husband has a weird singing voice, VERY off key, but I don't say anything because he sings from his very heart and I know he hears his voice differently. My family wasn't nice about my singing and as a child that can stall one in learning and enjoyment. Good thing we are bolder as we age!
Love, LeeAnna
