A moment of success

Here's just a quick post because I am so very thrilled with myself. After a day of planning things and enduring the mundane and spending time with people that I love and that I am thrilled to see happy and all sorts of other good things (pictures to come) I got home late at night and found waiting in my mailbox a contract to sing in the Utah Opera Chorus. I auditioned a while ago and then didn't hear anything and figured I flunked. It turns out they are just being as organized as musicians should be. It's not a huge thing, just another small success that helps me hope for good things to come. But it is a paid position and singing the way I love to and, oh yes, that first show is Verdi. I love Verdi. Granted, it's not Aida, but it's still Verdi. Who can complain?
