Angie eased into the bathtub.

Her once lithe and graceful body had been rebelling for a while; now it had declared mutiny.

She didn’t expect to have free time today so this moment of solitude was bliss.

Angie barely had time to relax when she heard the persistent nudging on the door; a black paw soon found its way into the narrow opening.

Sidney, the cat.

He was intent on getting into the bathroom to see what Angie was up to without him.

“Sid!” Angie scolded playfully. “A little privacy, please!”

    1. Dear Ivor,

      This is exceptional. Having sung in choirs all my life since the age of 6, I can fully appreciate the feeling that comes over a person when singing in a group, especially with a group of people you’ve never met before; the sense of camaraderie and oneness is ineffable. To hear something come to life over the course of a few hours is unbelievably rewarding. I’m the person you see singing in her car or the one standing behind you in line humming a tune or the one singing along in church when the choir does Handel’s Hallelujah Chorus. I’m the idiot who gets emotional singing the national anthem at a ball game. Thank you for sharing this very moving video; I will save it forever. And I apologize if the words are a bit bleary; I’m crying right now and I’m sure the paper has gotten all wet. Thank you, my friend!
