"I Wanna Talk about Me"

I have always had a love of music for as long as I can remember. I loved listening to it and a lot of songs would have deep meaning to me. Listening to music has got me through some hard times. Many songs just tug me right at the heart. Music plays a big part in my life.

Let me point out that I said I love to LISTEN to music. I grew up taking piano lessons for I don't know how long. I just never was good at it. It was frustrating. I am not a patient person so I am sure I just wanted the fingers to flow easily across the keys. Just didn't happen. I can play a few songs here and there but I don't have a piano right now so I really would have to practice a lot before I started playing the songs I used to know how to play. I really wanted to sing too. I was in Concert Choir and I did take voice lessons for a year. I would just get too nervous during my recitals when I had to sing solo. I was perfectly fine and comfortable singing in a group. I was in my comfort zone. (Just a side note: I loved dancing and would be perfectly happy if I could do a dance solo when I was little. I wanted to be the best then. I was good at it....but that was then. ;) lol )

About a year and a half ago I got called to be the Music Chairperson in my ward. I laughed when the calling was extended to me because I really don't know much about music. I love Hymns though. The only thing I really have had to do with this calling is pick out the music for Sacrament meeting. I love it. The Hymns are beautiful. I take part in the choir because I can sing in a choir. I lead when my chorister can't be there. (I learned how to lead in Young Womens.)

So because of this calling I feel like people think I have some kind of music talent. Sorry to disappoint you all but I don't. As of late I have been asked to do a few things that I am not very comfortable with. I honestly wish that I had a talent in this area. Anyway, I am just trying to figure it all out right now. Just remember this.....I warned you.
