The End of an Era

Choir is over.  Due to vacations and people moving in and out there is no program during the summer.  I am so sad.  So many blessings have come from singing with wonderful people.  Our pianist is moving away, as are half of the other members.
As we sang our last song today, I couldn't help but feel as though the world itself, or perhaps my own little world, is going to change so much.  As I get older, I start to look back at my life more than forward, and I find myself doing that again.  I don't know if the choir in the fall will be nearly as good as this one was, I don't know if I will ever again feel the way I've felt singing in this choir. 
It seems that things are never as good as they once were.  I may look back on this and agree, but perhaps I can pull myself out of this little divot I'm in and realize that perhaps this one loss will open doors for other gains.  Things change, people grow, and memories become priceless.

Would you?

If I could go back and change a moment, I think I would change that one.  But I wonder, what other moments would change as a result?  If I changed that moment, could I keep this one?  No, better to be safe than to lose this one so dear.  Send regret to the wind, and live.

Buggers!

Totally random musings here.  I was just at a museum that had a room decorated almost entirely with bugs.  Most from foreign countries.  I found it quite entrancing, and while I was looking at the pictures that I took while I was there, I realized that Heavenly Father is quite the genious.  I mean, when an animal dies somewhere, you can smell it, in fact, you can't miss it.  The nasty smell of a dead animal is unmistakable, even if it is a tiny animal.  However, when an insect dies, you don't even notice.  Pretty nice considering the fact that flies and ants and even dragon flies have been known to randomly die in impossible to reach places in our different homes.  I don't even want to think about what else may have died there...even though I am.  Please excuse me while I shudder violently.
