Once a month I attend a Vespers service at the Unitarian church downtown (which I describe as the "church without God" in halting Spanish, to the amusement of my Spanish tutor). Their vespers is a solid hour of repetitive singing and silence, in the Taize style. This is one of my favorite parts of the month, and I've been going religiously (hah!) since I discovered it a few years ago.
Last night, I attended and while I was singing I realized I was happy. It felt good, and odd, and was something I haven't felt in a few months. I don't know if it was the passage of time, or my parents' recent visit, or the spring time, but probably it was all of it put together. I'm feeling better.
And THAT is good news indeed
ReplyDeleteSo glad to here that! Feeling sad all the time is not good for your soul. So I am glad you have come out the other side.
ReplyDeleteYou're such a positive person, it comes as a surprise that you were not as a standard feeling, happy. But I am glad to hear that you experienced a really fulfilling sensation of it. quality over quantity
ReplyDeleteSinging is good for your well-being - and happiness is just one part of that.
