Church was good yesterday, though I was disappointed as were some others that we didn't sing more Christmas hymns. It was my turn to play the offertory and it went well. I experimented with a registration that reminds me of my favorite pipe organ. Hubby said it sounded very nice. Only one other person made a comment, which is fine. I think the newness has worn off and people are finding it sort of normal now, which is a good thing. Hee, hee, I'm sounding more and more like my mentor everyday.
Daughter came over after church yesterday and helped a little with some Christmas decorating. I always put up this little tree on the piano.
Scolding myself...do you ever unload your heart on someone, then wished you hadn't? Do you ever open up to someone and then feel as though the most important thing on your mind and heart made no impact at all on the person you shared it with? Have you ever sought advice, sympathy or just a little understanding and felt like you were talking to the walls? Truly, sometimes I think I share too much to the wrong people and I'm the only one who pays the price...disappointment, rejection. Am I the only one who does this repeatedly?? Someday maybe I'll learn. There...that's my rant for the week. 
The big plan for today is practicing. I'll do some cleaning around here this morning and I plan to be at the church from 1:00-4:00 or 4:30. If my mentor isn't too busy, he said he might come up to work with me for a bit. I hope he makes it, we have so much to discuss...I just hope I am able to get the answers I seek and tell him the things that are on my heart.
You are such a tender-hearted person and I have learned that about you since we have become blog friends. And to answer your question, yes, I share too much about me, and my concerns too, and sometimes get a word of advice, but mostly I get nothing. You are a sweet, caring person and like me, think others are too, but they aren't, and we get disappointed.
ReplyDeleteAw, thanks Linda. It is good to know I'm not the only one who feels this way.
DeleteI only have one ornament from my childhood, and I protect it each year. It isn't on the tree this year, nor are any precious things....because of Vinny! Memories are beautiful, and even more so this time of year. The choir candles are so sweet - and how funny to remember that TVs used to get hot (glass tubes - I remember!). Don't ever change, Julie. You have such a kind spirit and if the person you shared with doesn't recognize the gift you gave to him/her, then they are the one with the problem. Love & hugs!!
ReplyDeleteThanks Terri.
