I have this terrible cold and yet I am feeling pretty good. I got up early this morning so I would be to choir by 8:00 a.m. and when I got there I could not sing at all. I tried, but my voice was thin and cracking and raspy and just plain terrible. On a scale of 1-10 I was a 1. I didn't realize that it was a cold until later today. I just thought that I had lost my talent to sing. At least now I have hope that next week I might sing better. (How could I not?)
I have some strange thoughts and feelings floating around inside me today. I was at the computer goggling addresses from my mission and I actually found pictures of a couple of the places where I lived some 45 years ago. Most are gone, but 2 jumped out at me just as I remembered them. What a strange feeling that was. So while Sheila was writing her entry I began reading my missionary journal. I got through about the first month and it was weird. That was me, and yet it was someone that I do not know. It felt like another incarnation. On December 2, 1965, I played in my first basketball game on an outdoor court and our team won 12-6. I scored 7 of the 12. That was in Mount Gambier, South Australia. Goggle that!
You made a joke about your singing!! I laughed out loud!
