Music
Music.
At this moment, I'm kind of in awe of how much it sets the tone of my day. I don't know if I listen to more or less music than the average person, but music is a constant backdrop to my life.
At home, Pandora plays until the "are you still there?" message appears. Then I click "yes," and the song resumes.
In the car, it's the radio. Or a CD. Or sometimes Pandora.
The stations we listen to are numerous. When Grammie babysits, it's usually Disney music that plays. When I need the a calm reminder that God is over all, it's the Getty channel that's on. Most days, it's All Sons and Daughters. Sometimes I change it up and put in some Michael Buble. Or Chris Tomlin. Or Rascal Flatts. Or Broadway tunes.
But the music? It's almost always on. It's calming. It's grounding. It's energizing. It's rejuvenating. It makes me dance. It reminds me to pray. It settles my soul.
And it's not until I'm away from the music for a few days that I realize how much I need it woven into the fabric of each day.
I completely understand and wish you would've said something. I have been searching for the perfect speaker to connect to my computer and haven't made it a top priority. I need music and miss it playing as my soundtrack to life!
ReplyDeleteNot to worry! We stayed pretty busy, so I didn't really realize it until we got to the airport to head home. Then I realized we hadn't listened to much! But I got free headphones from the flight attendant and enjoyed some relaxing Chris Tomlin in the clouds. :)
