Recently our local newspaper ran a story about a Choral Society soprano, Patty Coldiron. As I read about Patty’s achievements in her career and her involvement with the various musical groups in her own church and the surrounding Philipsburg area, one sentence in the article popped out at me and stayed in my thoughts the rest of the day.
          In the course of the article, the paper was reviewing Patty’s musical commitments on a weekly basis, noting what she did on Tuesday, Thursday, etc. Then a paragraph in the paper read:
                    And Mondays? That’s when Coldiron sings with the State College Choral Society. 
                    “That’s one thing I do for myself,” she says, smiling.
          We are all like Patty Coldiron, consistently giving of ourselves unselfishly to share this wonderful miracle of making music. And the “one thing” we do for ourselves? We get “it” when we gather for rehearsals and when we have the opportunity to present our concerts. Many diverse people, coming together as one to share a miracle that can inspire, enthuse or touch someone like nothing else can.
          Sharing together in a miracle for others ... not a bad thing to do for yourself!
