To those that sing, I am envious.

 

I loved to sing and tried out for the junior high chorus.  To my recollection, 30 tried out and 29 made it. 

 

Yes, I was devastated when my name was absent from the chorus list.  My singing career ended that day.

 

In all honesty, my husband and children, bless their hearts, told me I am the worst singer they ever heard.  To add insult to injury, now my grandchildren say the same thing. Smiley Sad

 

I even refrain from "Happy Birthdays."

@Mersha You aren't the only one!  When I was in 6th grade I tried out for the chorus and was probably the only one who didn't make it.  Yes I am a lousy singer though I have fantasized that I have a lovely voice....oh well one can dream.  LOL!

 

As for any skill....I taught myself to run a small Etsy business for 10 years and to me that was a big deal.  I also have a knack for design.

 

@haddon9   I am sorry to hear your singing career was cut short also.  You know the angst of seeing everyone's name posted on the chorus list but yours. Smiley Sad

 

Congrats on your Etsy business!
