More Sweetness...
A large portion of what I consider my sweetness in life comes from MUSIC.
Music on elevators, or is that elevator music? Either way, I love it! I love when I am eating out with good friends or family and have a nice mix of music chiming in the background. Music is on in my car whenever possible (talk-radio is another sweetness I will discuss later). I have learned to venture forth into different kinds of music too. I now LOVE jazz, Indian music, and some hip-hop type kids music (Miley Cyrus is the bomb!) and more.
Music has always been a part of my life. Some of my earliest memories involve my mom or sister singing to me. I remember how much I enjoyed singing time at my local church. I loved learning the piano. I loved voice lessons. I sang in the school choir, starred as Wind-Up-Wendy in the school play, and continued on with choirs, musicals, and drama into high school. All of which brought me such joy, release, and friendships. I loved sitting around and singing with high school friends. A good friend and I would play and sing for hours. I never got sick of it. I don't think she did either. I miss some of this more than I know.
Sadly, I gave up music for four bleak years of my life. I made a mistake and subconsciously punished myself by disallowing music in my life. Occasionally I would listen to music on the radio and I even once sang in church, but on the whole I did not have music in my life. It was a horribly lonely and confusing time (not just because of the lack of music). But no more! My music is back.
I love to attend concerts of all kinds (hint, hint...Kathy!). I love musicals and theater productions (I'm going to Wicked in May!). I would love to be in a musical or choir again soon. I love that my daughter loves music and is starting piano. I love hearing her choir perform. I have a piano now and spend a little bit too much time on it daily. But my kids LOVE for me to play them to sleep.
Music is and will continue to be a big part of my life. It has saved me on many occasions. I will seek it out always. I hope to discover more styles and venues to enjoy music.
I love the sweetness it brings.
