This is for Tishmeister- she made my day for the second time with her requests for more blog posts. :D
Well, I'm not sure what to write about, but at the moment, I am thinking about a message. A message that my mom sent to my voice teacher. And guess what it said? It talked about how I am practicing voice like crazy, and how it's driving my mom crazy. She asked how much I should be practicing. He said that an hour a day is sufficient. Darn, I wish he'd said something more on the side of, "Three hours should be the minimum." Limit myself to an hour? Seriously? OK, I guess I'll just use the time to practice piano. But that's not quite as fun. But I guess I'll have to make do. Uggghh!
I have never been told to practice less. Never. This is a first in my entire life.
I know that piano is a lot less strenuous than voice, and that it's hard to practice too much with piano. With voice, you can hurt yourself. I understand that. But she seriously messaged him to get me to stop? OK, I'm listening now. I'm going to go....not practice voice.
You and my nephew, the gymnast. On several occasions, he had minor injuries that time off would have allowed him to overcome, but he pushed, and ended up hurting himself worse. You have no injuries. Don't create one.
ReplyDeleteYou are blessed to have an amazing sense of direction and purpose at such a young age. More so than most adults I know, and certainly more than me. On top of that, you LOVE what you are doing. That gives you purpose and drive. It is a powerful combination that will serve you well in a all that you do.
Love your perspective on things. You amaze me, and make an average joe like me smile.
You sound like me! :D
ReplyDeleteStop making my day. It should be illegal to make my day so much. I stand outside smiling like an idiot at something you said and my mom wonders what I'm thinking. :)
But I really do appreciate it. I don't plan on hurting myself, and I do know when to stop, thank goodness.
