Metadata!
I’ll focus on singing instead!
Thanks for all of the kind words last night. I received one very rude comment telling me to get over it and grow up but I’m confident that commenter didn’t even read my post. It figures that someone always has to say something like that when I’m at my very lowest, right? Luckily I have the rest of you to make me realize how wonderful life really is and you made me feel very special last night. I thank you very much. I have made such amazing blog friends since I’ve had this website and I sometimes take all of you for granted. I hope you know how much your words mean to me. Sometimes a simple comment can mean more than you’ll ever know.
I am feeling a lot better today. I spent the day relaxing at my computer, doing a bit of cleaning up around my apartment, and having some good talks with Josh about some things that have been bothering me lately about various things. I also decided to do something really important for myself. Since I do not have my job at the YMCA anymore, I decided that I would call up my voice teacher and begin lessons again. I enjoy them so much and it makes me happy and now I have the extra time. It’s a long drive to where my voice teacher lives and after my wedding I took a break from lessons because of everything else that was going on. I think this will be a good thing for me now and I’m glad that I decided to do this for myself.
Speaking of singing, I sung at the 5:00pm Mass today. It was a surprise today to walk in there and find that the Bishop would be saying Mass today! I got to be the leader of song today for the Bishop! It was an honor and I got to sing by myself and be the only cantor while the Bishop said Mass! I know some of you probably don’t really understand why that would excite me but let me assure you that it’s a rare occasion and quite the honor to be able to fill that spot. He complimented me after Mass and told me what a beautiful voice I had. Things like that are definitely a boost to my self confidence.
Now my next project is picking a song to sing for Christmas Eve Mass. I get to sing another solo! Maybe I’ll sing something in Latin.

That’s a lovely photo of you by the way ! I think I like your curls better =)
Sing Adeste Fidelis for christmas eve mass ! make sure you get someone to film it so that you can share it with us =) Glad your feeling better and that you’ll do something for you, we tend to forget ourselves and only think of others… cheers,
Some people just feel the need to spread their negativity as wide as they can.
Good idea on starting up voice lessons again, I remember you writing about how important they were to you and how happy it made you. It’s always great to have something beautiful like that to fill your free time with. :)
I just went to take a look at your previous post. I’m sorry about your job, and that nasty commenter. It is really upsetting when someone doesn’t read your blog and their comment just seems like a method of annoying you.
But I have to say that by far, the lovely comments I get when I am feeling down make me feel so much better. :)
I used to go to singing lessons as a child. That’s terrific that you’re getting into something you love again. I did the same with ballet recently, and I’m glad I did.
It’s awesome you’re starting to sing more and more! And I love your hair in the picture!
Woo, now that would be a nice pick me up boosted.
Do you put anything in your hair? Your hair seems really similar to mine, but I’m afraid to cut it short because of my frizz problem, haha.
I agree, I like your curls! Sorry to hear that someone wrote something rude, that’s always the worst. Ugh. good luck btw!
I did not get the chance to comment on your previous blog post, but I do read your blog through rss. I’m sorry to hear about the cut backs at the Y. I know the feeling, there are budget cuts everywhere and in my area they all seem to effect Childcare.
I know how you feel, I have been working in childcare in the OSC (and preschool) area for 6 years now. You grow so attached to the job, and the children. I still think about my 1st Kindercare & OSC group of children – the Kinders would be GRADE 6 this year – wow!
Keep doing things that you want to do, make yourself happy!
no, I did read the whole thing, which is exactly why I said grow up and get over it.
if being let go at the Y, a job which you already stated you didn’t need for income, is your low point then you shouldn’t be complaining about anything…ever.
seriously walk a day in the lives of other people, that’s not a low point. you’re choosing to make it one. so i’ll repeat and say grow up and get over it
oh and have a lovely day
I think it’s perfectly normal to be upset over losing a job that you enjoy and are passionate about. Again, I was not complaining about my loss of income – I was upset for the friendships I lost and not being able to experience the job that I loved.
You are right that there are far worse things in the world and I believe you but I still believe that your comment was a bit harsh and rude given the circumstances especially considering I don’t know you very well.
We are all entitled to our opinions though and I still appreciate your input. I still don’t believe that you understand where I am coming from and I am sorry for that, but there is nothing I can do about that. You have a lovely day, too.
Also, please use a valid email address when commenting here. I have no problem with you commenting at my site, but unless you use a valid email, all further comments will be deleted.
I will leave your recent comments in good faith to show I have no qualms with what you said, but please use a valid email in the future or I will delete your comments.
Thank you.
Yes, I do! I use a curl defining foam. I don’t use very much of it either, just the size of about two quarters in my hand, then rub it together and work it through the bottom of my hair when it’s wet.
