When the "shoe drops..."

So many times in my lifetime I've been faced with obstacles, loss, sadness, even overwhelming happiness on occasion.  Human emotions run wild during our daily lives.  Each day we deal with stress, frustration and a myriad of other issues, that's simply a "fact of life."  I have found one way to decompress, and I hope that this may give peace to anyone who tries it!

Whether I'm "down," or "up..." if I need to just unwind, I turn to music!  I find one of my favorite artists, and just sit back and listen for a while...  Somewhere within your realm of availability, you WILL find someone singing that special song or songs, that will battle your emotions, and bring you back to your "centered self."  I promise!

I just sent a dear friend a link to a song on youtube.com that I thought she might enjoy when she reads my email.  She recently lost a lifelong friend and is suffering with her grieving process... perhaps listening to my song will help lift her heart, if only for a while, that she might make decisions whether to return from the US to England, to attend the funeral.  My song... Josh Groban singing "To Where you Are..."  Since I listened to this, and decided to remind her that "we" are out here for here, I'm continuing to listen to Josh, and I'm finding my tension/stress melt away....

Please, if you've read this, and think it might help you from time to time, say "hi."  Just click at the bottom of the post on comments and say hi... I'd really appreciate it!

Be well, one and all, and put on some music if you think it will help "lift you up!"

  3. You made me start thinking about music, in ones life. My Dad (step-dad) loved the Irish Tenors. They sang a song called "The Old Man". When Pa passed and we had the memorial service, they played that very song. Yes he was my step-dad, but he was my Dad.
