Musings

I recently recalled my days of Choir class while watching a movie. (OK, it was Pitch Perfect 2, you caught me) I was reminded of the enjoyment I had while in choir, practices, performing, tour, and friendships. Land it had me thinking about joining the local community chorale group.

I often mention the importance of caring for yourselves physically. Today I will speak about caring for your soul. Finding ways of expressing yourself creatively are a wonderful way to stay sane. Even those who are sick need to create to help them feel full and complete. My wife likes to crochet, which she can do even when too tired to leave the bed. In addition to singing, I enjoy woodworking, and bushcrafting.

Recreation is how we re-create ourselves. But you also need to let yourself sing. However you express yourself, do it. Many of the great works of art came out of the deepest sorrows of the creator. Johannes Brahms wrote this song after the deaths of both his wife, and his best friend.
