Yesterday I had a vocal lesson for the first time in almost 6 years. I'm singing Ave Maria at my friend's wedding so it gave me an excuse to visit my old vocal coach. After my lesson I was in such a great mood. I was thinking about it today and realized I was so enthused about singing again because 1) It used to be such a large part of my life and 2) because it is a great creative outlet for me. For me, singing almost gives me the same high that I get from running. Love it!
Did you get that Memo? --movie clip
From elementary school, high school, and college most of us are involved in several organizations. I especially liked to keep busy in everything from cheerleading, to leadership council, singing, honor societies, etc. Yes, I've enjoyed having more free time since working in the "real world": go to work, work out, go out, watch movie, bed. It's just way too boring to me to do the same thing all the time. I need other things to release all of my creative energy.
I believe in some ways that the monotonous type of schedule may be the cause of many mid-life crises. That 40-something man/woman wakes up one day wondering where all of the time went. I'd like the spend my life experiencing new things and breaking up the almost inevitable cycle. Who wants to join me? Haha.
Thank you for sharing this, I found your article very interesting.
