The scariest thing EVER!!!

I agreed to be in this play at my church with the stipulations of not singing alone. They said that would be fine and had me sing a duet with my friend Karrie Bunting. I was so glad for that but I then found out I have to sing part of the song alone. I still, (don't ask me why) said ok and started to learn my song. My daughter Tayah was Karrie's understudy and she was singing with me. I even had Leslie help me with the song to make sure I didn't sound terribly awful. Today was my first practice singing in front of everyone in the play. I felt ok about it until we started to get close to my part. It wasn't until then that I could feel my heart beating so hard and fast I was sure Dani who was sitting behind me could hear it. When it was my turn to sing I stood up and my arms were shaking, my voice was shaking and my knees were knocking. I had to lock my knees to get them to stop somewhat from shaking. I swear I was making the whole stage shake. I thought I had done some hard things in my life like: standing up to the heart surgeon at UCLA, having 5 babies, or rowing a boat down the Grand Canyon but NO not really. None of those things were as hard or scary for me as it was to sing today. It was only PRACTICE! I hopeful will be able to control some of the shakes by our performance time in March.
