Walk down to the River

 

Josh Groban is a talented man with an outstanding voice. This is what he has given me today.

Josh Groban has been a voice that we all welcome. This voice comes from a depth he experiences about depression and anxiety.  He wrote this song.

He is a prodigy who was surrounded by an extremely talented family which focused on music. This second performance above is from him talking about his struggles, how they led him down the road that developed his talent.

 "Groban began singing in 7th grade and later enrolled in the Interlochen Arts Program to concentrate on his voice. As fate would have it, his vocal coach was friends with David Foster, a well-known producer, writer and arranger, and in 1998, Groban and Foster began working together."

When a child discovers he has a major talent, is encouraged to pursue it by musical parents and given training by accomplished musician David Frost, the child grows to be a man who gives back to the world.

This has more meaning to me than ever before. Since being diagnosed with Parkinson's I have discovered that the new me has required more from me than ever before. Sooo much that I was used to doing the many many things that filled me with me with joy are now gone.  Depression is more part of me than I ever thought possible. 

 

Telling me that I will discover new things that will fill that void is not going to encourage me. At this point, typing is hard, and I haven't learned to successfully dictate typing.  Will keep up that effort.  Please pray for me and my dear husband John.
