So I also mentioned in a previous blog that I don't sink out loud very much and I hardly ever dance. I am sure all my dancing and singing friends feel sorry for me to not have that joy in my life. But about the singing, it has always been a frustration to me because I can't sing high and I am lucky if I hit the right notes! So it doesn't sound good and I sure wish it did. So that is why I don't do it very often. But with my new calling in Primary, I am learning the primary program songs and am singing without holding back! I realized that kids do not care. They are off key too so it doesn't matter if I sing perfectly! It really has been so much fun for me. I am embarrassed to say that I didn't know the words to most, ok all, of the songs we will be singing for the Primary program. Now that I am learning them, I can sing them at home whenever I feel like it. So I am doing better at the singing thing. All I needed were the Primary songs and a childrens attitude of it doesn't matter if it sounds perfect or not.
And about the dancing, I should follow Audrey Hepburn's dancing in Funny Face and the new GAP commercial as an example. "I rather feel like expressing myself now. And I could certainly use a release!...I'm not inhibited!...It's nothing more than a form of expression of release!...If a girl wants to dance, a girl wants to dance!" I could watch that commercial over and over again. Oh wait, I already have.

isn't that add THE BEST?!?!
Go for it Audra! Sometimes when I am stressed and the kids are going crazy we turn on the music and DANCE. Talk about a release!!
Yay for primary songs! Are you the chorister or teaching a class? I have subbed in primary a couple of times since we've been in this ward, and I love singing time! There are so many new fun songs they've been learning since I was in there (okay, so it's been a few years... but still!)
I am so happy to hear this! There is something joyful about music and dance, no matter how good or bad you are at it! (But just like you said, as long as you don't care. :) )
That perfectionist can get in the way sometimes! If you can let it go, I can let it go! Let's sing and dance like there's no tomorrow! And I will let my hair blow in the wind and not feel ugly!
