My Favorite Things

May 24, 2011

As I have mentioned before tomorrow I am going to have my strabismus surgery on my eye.  As you might guess I am nervous and anxious for the entire thing to be over. Thank you in advance for the support and love during this ordeal and over the last 6 months.

At least today I had something else to focus on- my recital for voice lessons.  This year I decided to sing My Favorite Things from the Sound of Music.  I selected it because it is about finding the positive in negative situations- a theme I related to right now (Go figure right?).

It was a challenging song but I think it came out pretty good.  Not my best performance but given the stress and lack of practice I’ve experienced lately I am happy.

The song is more challenging than you might at first think.  (particularly the arrangement I used). The rhythm is tricky and perky acting was a bit hard, but I did the best I could.

For your viewing pleasure:

I don’t know when I will post next but I can promise you will get an update when I can see well enough to do it!

      thanks Anne. The surgery was a long day but I made it through. Honestly the worst part was the nausea from the anesthesia. Thankfully my doctor gave me some anti-nausea medicine and something for the pain which has helped. I am grateful to have gotten a pretty good night of sleep. Hopefully today I will see lots of improvement. If you have a minute come by for a visit. I’d love it.
