Hi Marci,
Just checking in to see how you are feeling today.  Ialso  understand the ups and downs of the AN journey and hope you are now riding on the up side -- it sounds like you are beginning to.   ;D  I would also love to hear you sing too and Ava Maria is wonderful and perfect for this time of year, if it's not too difficult for you.  Otherwise, anything would be good for me!  Hope you're having a better day!

Hugs,
Wendy

I do so love the Schubert version.  In fact, to get us all in the mood, here is a link to a clip of the great Pavoratti singing Ave Maria...

This makes my whole scalp tingle (well, at least the parts that are capable of tingling...) :'(

Oh sure, how can I possibly compete with Pavarotti?  And I'm not even Italian.  Geez.  Yes, thankfully the down spell was followed by an upward swing (ups and downs right?), so I'm dealing with things a little better.  I was able to not take any pain medication until 2pm today which meant that I got a lot of work done.  This is a good thing.

Good to hear Marci.  You sing what ever you feel comfortable with.  I wish I could carry a tune.  SING, SING, SING, I'm sure your voice is heavenly.
