I wasnt sure what forum to post this in, so I decided to blog it instead.
A little history....I smoked for over 25 years. When I was younger I sang alot in church functions, choir etc. I was always chosen to sing in the Christmas plays etc. (You got to get out of class for that one..yay!) Christmas music has always held a special place in my heart....When I hear it, I feel it....It's so hard to explain and I hope someone else out there can relate and understand. As a nurse Ive always sung to my patients at Christmas and gotten them to sing with me. Its good therapy and makes one feel young again. (I take care of the elderly) In the past few years I only sang just a few songs out loud because I knew I wouldn't hit the high notes etc. One of my favorite songs is "O Holy Night" I never sang that for anyone because I knew I would mess it up.
I haven't smoked an analog cigarette in over a month now and I was listening to some Christmas music on youtube tonight....kinda humming and singing along. I got up to go to the kitchen to get something and I continued singing after the music had finished playing and all I can say is "Wow!" My house has tile floors and is fairly empty so acoustically my voice sounded wonderful! I echoed!!!! My voice was loud and full and I was hitting high notes! I eventually had to stop because I was crying! I received so much praise when I was younger because of my voice....and eventually became ashamed of it after smoking for so long. Tonight, I feel like I got back something that I thought was long lost....I'm touched and I'm humbled at this moment and wanted to share.
Wow!
