Day 26- So close to the end!!!!

Practice
Total Practice-30 min
Songs worked on- Walk away, Breakaway 
Today, I vocalized to some of the daily warm up cd. I don't have an upper register today, (neat), and it was my voice was feeling so funky from being sick. There were so many more noticeable hiccups when trying to transition from note to note. It felt so weird! 
As i was singing my songs through it felt and sounded like I was a young boy going through puberty (but on every single note)
hoping this voice comes around quickly. It's funny because I've worked so hard this month on getting things heading in the right direction with singing that by the end I wanted to really wanted to see a huge improvement.. and now I'll I'm hearing and feeling is a giant mess. 
It's okay though because I know that this challenge has really done something for me. Can't help if your sick. :)

Healthy Meal #22
Scrambled eggs with hummus. A nice breakfast full of protein!

Charity #4
Today I volunteered at Saint Luke's Soup Kitchen on 46th between 8th and 9th.
They are open every Tuesday and Thursday from 1 pm-2pm. I have never in my life worked at a soup kitchen and I have to say it is not at alllllll what I thought it was going to be like.
I was really humbled when the first round of people started coming through and it really did put my life into perspective. I would say that %80 of the people that came through were normal individuals that just don't have enough money to buy food. It made me think that that could be me and then I thought... would I have the courage to go to a soup kitchen and admit defeat. I feel like I would be so embarrassed or that I had failed. It also made me wonder how do people get out of poverty? Who gives them a helping hand and chance. It felt really great to give them some food and a smile. 
I will definitely be volunteering again.
(and it'll feel better cause it won't be required, I'll be doing it for me!)
Here a couple of pictures
