Tonight I am thankful that God has given me a voice! I love to sing more than most anything on earth! It is one of the simplest, yet greatest joys in my life. In my car it's singing along with Jason Aldean and Carrie Underwood with the windows down for everyone to hear as I drive by. On road trips it's Glee and Wicked and Disney and Phantom of the Opera with whoever is lucky enough to be with me (sorry to all of you who have experienced that! lol.). In the kitchen it's old hymns and worship songs with my family as we make Sunday lunch. In my bedroom is Colbie Caillat and Needtobreathe and Jon McLaughlin while I clean or get ready for the day. Whatever the occasion, wherever I am, and whoever I'm with I love love love to sing!
For anyone who's known me very long, you know I'm a fairly dramatic and emotional person with plenty of attitude and personality. Yeah, yeah...I'll admit it! Singing is a huge outlet for that for me. Music speaks to me. I feel it...I don't just hear a song.....I can literally feel the emotions that music brings on. I started singing when I was little and it has become second nature to me in the way that I just do it without even realizing I'm doing it. I'm always walking around the house with a song stuck in my head singing or at the very least humming it. And every now and then I feel the need to break out into a concert in the kitchen sliding up and down the floor in my socks with a hairbrush in my hand. Yes, I'm 20 years old! And yes I still do this! haha. I think I probably always will? :) But I was just thinking about it tonight (after one of these concerts..lol.) and realizing how much I love it and how much joy it brings me! Not because I'm the best singer out there or because I want to become famous from it or anything like that. It is purely just enjoyable to me and something I often take for granted but I am so thankful to be able to do. So yeah....that's my little thought of the evening. Just thought I'd share! :)
I just love you. :D
