The Power Of Music

The other day I had a discussion with some of my friends about music. We got talking about those songs that really touch us. The ones that no matter where you are when you hear the words it takes you back to a certain moment. Those songs that touch your soul and can bring a person back to you for a moment. The songs that remind you of your first kiss, last kiss, and the best kisses in between. You know those songs! We all have a few that just get us. And I find it so interesting what songs really get other people. So I'll share mine if you share yours....

Josh Groban singing To Where You Are makes me cry every time I hear it. But that song reminds me that even though my mom isn't here it isn't far to her. It gives me reassurance that I'll see her again. And it reminds me that I can feel her if I quiet myself just long enough... The video of it is below.



Another song that really gets me is Let There Be Peace On Earth. That has always been one of my favorite songs. When I was a little girl I loved to sing it at Christmas. And even now I still love it! I guess I really do believe that if everyone let it begin with them there might really be peace on earth someday.

And the final one is Come Some Rainy Day by Wynonna Judd. I'm not a big Wynonna fan but that song amazes me. I hear it and it takes me to the day my sister was born. It's like I can see how perfect and new she was. It brings all those feelings back of how excited and amazed I was to have her. Love that song! Love that feeling!!! There is a line in the song that says "I still catch my breath when someone mentions you." And that's the truth about Heather. She really did take my breath away when she was born. I'd never felt a love like that before.

So those are my songs. What are yours???

Happy Christmas Post

So my last post was pretty much about the crappy Christmas portion of our holiday. But it wasn't all bad. How could it be all bad? Especially when you have this cute little reindeer living at your house!



The Hulk actually was adorable on Christmas day even though he and I both were pretty sick. He thought his cousin Mattie was hilarious opening presents. He gets pretty tickled watching her.

He did tear some paper and as I opened the toys and gave them to him he played with them. But in typical kid fashion he really liked Mattie's new toys. She got lots of kid kitchen things, like fake food and pots and pans. He liked the pans. And Mattie really liked the Retro Riding Rocket that The Hulk got. So they spent a fair amount of time playing with each others things. At least they share.

I got some neat gifts too. I got a cool wallet from my sister Heather and a beautiful necklace that I love! I saw it awhile back and loved it but didn't feel okay about spending the money on myself. So she got it for me and totally surprised me with it! Thanks again Heather!

And most of all I shared the day with the best gift I have ever received. Even though I was sick and even though I was sad I couldn't help but enjoy the time with The Hulk. He may not heal my heart but he sure is a wonderful band-aid.
