Tried and failed but try again...

As I said earlier, I have 2 goals in order for me to call this CI a success. 1) Enjoy music again (which includes, singing, playing the piano and playing my beloved uke) and 2) Talk with my children on the telephone. Thats it. Just 2! Well Im not actually supposed to use the phone yet so I decided to start singing to myself. I was so surprised! I cant do it! I started off singing Happy Birthday to my dog. She didnt howl but she sure looked at me funny when I tried to hit a high note. Its the oddest thing. For me not to be able to sing happy birthday? Well I kept on singing while cleaning the kitchen and started off with Row Row Row Your Boat....well guess what? I started off ok then when I went for the high note on merrily...there it was again. I couldnt do it! And then totally bombed the rest coming back down from the song singing merrily merrily merrily merrily! Honestly...I just find this unbelievable given my background and all. Music means everything to me! One of my favorite quotes " For heights and depths no words can reach, music is the souls own speech"  I talked to Ed and instead of our usual chitchat I sang to him, we sang together with each other and well, knowing Ed he said "well yea I dont know but I reckon its ok..." Typical male response...am I right? We kept trying until we finally gave up. I went over to my mother in laws house and told her that I couldnt sing! So being the sweetie that she is, we sat down and she said now what shall we sing...she is also a choir member so she does have a good ear so I sang. Bless her heart. She said "Well I think on the high note you are over shooting and its a bit sharp"  lol I love her. Anyway, we sang a couple songs and decided I was going to sit in on choir practice and not sing but listen to the different parts. Kind of like therapy. What do you think? Im going to talk with the director tomorrow and ask if its ok but I think this coming Wed, Im gonna start listening to some real music! Wish me luck! Thanks for dropping by and come back tomorrow to find out how my very first Sunday School class and church service went..stay tooned  :)
