Major NSV

I was going to wait to post this but I figured if someone was reading it might help them.

Growing up I have always loved going to plays and musicals. I remember going with my neighbor who was an opera singer to see my first play Godspell. I loved it. I wanted to be in one.

Well I turned 50 this summer. I stopped drinking booze a year and a half ago. I finally got the balls to think about trying out for a play.

Last week late at night I saw something about a local theater company having auditions. Well it was late and of course I made an appointment to try out. Well of course I panicked after I did it and forgot about it.

Friday night came and I went into the school and walked in and almost ran the heck out. Well there was a woman my age in line she grabs me and tells me that you are not going anywhere. She said she was doing it also and what do we have to lose.

I waited in line I was crapping my pants. I only told a few people since they have a habit of making fun of people who try new things. Or they say not nice things. Like you can't sing or other crap.

When it was my turn I took a deep breath and went in. Well I wasn't going to sing since I was afraid. Well I decided what is the worst thing that can happen to me. I would get a laugh or have a reminder I did this and wasn't afraid.

I got up and sang I read lines for one of the characters in the play. I don't know if I got it. But just knowing I tried is a major NSV.

Having the surgery and working on my head has made major life changes. They might have not always been what I have wanted. Most are for the good.

Life can be short so take chances.

I think this is fantastic! It's a "life win" no matter the outcome!

It's my lift list I am working on. Not my bucket list. There are many more things I want to do.

Woo! Congratulations! Just getting up there and auditioning is something to be super proud of :D

I've been taking voice lessons for, um, six years now and I still get ridiculously scared, anxious, and nervous before a recital. Supposedly it'll get easier, but I'm not holding my breath considering it's been six years already :D But.. I'm still proud of myself for forcing myself outside of my comfort zone and trying.

So way to go!!

Congrats on your great accomplishment! Way to go!

That's a huge NSV! Congratulations!

Gaining confidence is probably one of the biggest things we can do for ourselves, and you've taken so many steps to do just that!

I hope you get the part, but even if you don't, you should revel in the fact that you went out there and did it!

I'm so glad you went through and auditioned! Even if you never hear back, just having the chutzpah to do it must have you walking on cloud 9!

Goo d for you Susan! That is a great NSV!

Thank you. I am not sure I got the part but I will be in the play regardless.

It was funny I was going through my head of crazy **** I have done in my youth. A lot was a way more scary than doing this.

It is nice to have something that is just what Susan wants to do.

I am super excited.

It shows in life that anything can happen. If we just try. That's all.

Susan, this made me smile!! Good for you for putting yourself out there.
