Belt it

I like singing.
One: it's an outpour to the Lord because I'm so thankful for many things.
Two: I usually have music on, wherever I go, so I sing along.
Three: I really like challenging myself (i.e. reaching higher/lower ranges, vocalizing, memorizing lyrics).

One of the places where I sing my heart out is in my car. Can you relate?
I blast the music (usually a little lower to where I can hear an ambulance siren) and sing!
However, there comes a point where you're waiting at a stop light & another car drives up right next to you. Do you minimize your mouth movements & sing under your breath or do you stop singing altogether? Or could you care less and keep on singin'?

Sometimes I do all of those. Ha ha, I get self-concious and think about what the other person might be thinking once they see my mouth moving, "Man, she must be having a terrible day. Pep talk to self. I can relate." "Maybe she's on her way to an interview & she's practicing." "Why do people do that?" Or maybe they're nice and say, "I should sing too!" "She's talking to herself? Yeah that's pretty therapeutic."


Other people might not know why you're "talking to yourself" or singing when you're at a stop light, but what's the big deal?! It's a matter of preference, & sometimes I prefer singing in my car & laughing by myself when I remember something funny... even if other people are watching.
