Your Voice Always Sounds Better in the Shower

Have you ever sang in the shower? If not, you have got to try it. There is just something about being totally clean, comfortable, relaxed, and singing full blast one of your favorite all time songs, preferably a rock 'n roll one at least a decade old. Plus, your voice always sounds better in the shower. My children have told me "don't quit your day job Mom", but that hasn't stopped me from one of life's pure joys.

Maybe a Beach Boys tune won't be your choice. Could it be from an opera, down Memphis way, heavy metal, true country, or international? My husband plays in a Scottish folk/Celtic band, so you know we like that music.

Showers work for days that haven't gone too well. When I am around a child say 4- 8 years old and they are having a "moment' for any one of a number of reasons, I suggest getting a drink of water and for some reason the child feels better 85% of the time. Consider showers the adult version. 

Think of showers as part of your agenda to celebrate. You just got the deal, promotion, award, or won the game. What song would you sing after that happened with full lung capacity? Or perhaps it is part of the preparation and "superstition" to always sing your favorite shower song before a big presentation, etc.

Water is truly precious. It lets us easily take a breathe, get calm, return to nature, and feel refreshed. Water is smooth, soothing, and gentle. Ummm, I feel inspired to write a song.......
