Singing

Well..
I am not able to do much, but every now and then, every few months, I get an opportunity to sing.
As long as I have people available to help me with the equipment, I can manage to sit and do some singing.
Of course, it always wrecks me for days-weeks afterwards, but it is what I love to do so it's worth it to me.

Tomorrow I get to sing outdoors on a stage at EV Junction.
I have my parents and Rj coming with me to carry my equipment and set it up on the stage before I work with the cords and sound system.
I am debating whether or not to bring my fully-backed computer chair, to help reduce the pain in my shoulder blades, but I have yet to use it for singing. I am not sure that this particular opportunity is the time to try it out - I have really been looking forward to this and I want to avoid being extra nervous.
Plus, we haven't taken the wheels off of the chair and I'd hate to be rolling around while I am trying to play...
I am nervous enough as it is.

Yesterday my throat was really sore... and not necessarily 'cold' type of sore/scratchy, but more like an injury; like I have been jabbed in the neck. It feels bruised. Then after practicing a bit today, which means that my throat might be sore tomorrow, which may make it more difficult to sing.
I always bring my xylitol melts to help with dry mouth, then chloraseptic lozenges if my throat hurts too much... plus a medication if my throat starts to tighten from the excitement.
Gotta be prepared. ;)

No matter what - no matter the risk and the pain and the nervousness - I cannot WAIT to sing tomorrow.... and because of the type of atmosphere and who has asked me to sing, I get to play some of FAVOURITE tunes and ones I don't play often. Love it.

I can't do much.
I may have difficulty walking.
I may sometimes even have difficulty breathing.
But singing -- singing will always be mine, it will always be worth it, it will always uplift me in every way possible. And that is more important to my psychological and mental health and well-being than anything else.

Love and music.
That's what it's all about.
