1. Feeling healthy and energized all day after a great workout this morning.

2. Fresh sheets on my bed.

3. My experimenting in the kitchen turning into a pleasant meal (and not at all the disaster I thought it would be!)

4. Making dinner plans with good friends.

5. The leaves just starting to turn on the trees. I’m so happy Fall is here! :)

have more confidence in myself (read all 2 entries…)
I'm freaking out here 2 months ago

I’m playing trumpet at my church tomorrow. My organist/old high school friend got together a group of us in the congregation that play instruments and put a little band together. We rehearsed a couple of nights ago, and everything went well until he uttered the words that have always stuck fear in my heart….”Let’s do some improv!” After nearly peeing my pants and completely freaking out, he explained that one piece we are playing tomorrow morning will be completely improvised and…(suspenseful pause)...Liz gets to have the second solo!

Sigh. I don’t do improv. Not then, not now, not ever. In high school when I was in the jazz band, I did everything EXCEPT improvisational solos. Everyone knew this and accepted it…it was just my thing. The thought of thinking up music on the fly in front of people makes me want to vomit.

I’m trying….REALLY trying to rise above my anxiety and use this as a way to overcome my fear and have more confidence in myself, etc. etc. However, part of me is so annoyed at my friend for putting me into this position. We went to high school together, played in jazz band together, and he already knows EXACTLY how I feel about this whole thing. I’m angry he would put me into such an uncomfortable situation.

I know this is just church and not on stage with the Boston Pops or something…but I can’t wait for this to be over tomorrow!
