The Importance of Music: Music connects us to ourselves, each other, family, friends, places, memories, moments in time, and many other occasions and moments.
We have songs that give us peace, that make us smile & laugh, that make us want to dance or jump around, songs we exercise to, songs that remind us of things, songs that make us sad or happy.
Music moves us from the inside out and the outside in!
It has the power to change our mood, our emotion, our thoughts and feelings in an instant.
It makes road trips more entertaining…I remember trips with my family and how often the radio was changed to accommodate whoever was driving. My dad loved his country and that was when country music was a bit more twangy!! Lol My mom liked country but she came alive with ABBA and if it was country – she wanted it to be fast and fun!
I was fortunate to be raised in a family where music was a huge part of our daily life – my dad was a musician. I grew up with an appreciation for performers and performances. I grew up with song and dance on a daily basis.
I love all forms of music – I listen to all different genres and appreciate the art of music. I recognize the commitment and sacrifice it takes for musicians succeed.
I am thankful for my upbringing and having a life full of listening to, singing, dancing, exercising to and crying with music.
It has enhanced my life, inspired me, made me laugh, made me cry but above all most of the time, it helps make me feel better.
Questions to Ponder:
