I must state the obvious first...
I'm a wife.
I'm a mommy.
I'm a daughter and a sister.
Those are easy.
What about the little things? What about the quirks that make me, well, "me"? Hold on tight...you're in for quite a ride...
I'm Singing...
I'm sure you've all seen me (or someone like me) at a stop sign somewhere. At first glance you might think, "Wow...is she okay? Is she yelling at someone? Is she having a seizure? Do I need to call 911?"
No, it's okay - I'm just singing. I love music. All kinds. Music has been a part of my life for as long as I can remember. It fills my soul with such wonderful things. Some things I can explain. Some I cannot. Some I do not want anyone to know. Some I want to shout from the rooftops.
A song can bring out all sorts of emotions, memories, and can absolutely heighten my senses. I heard a song this morning while in the car that instantly took me back to my high school years. It was like I was physically there; I could smell certain scents. I could literally "feel" what I felt 20 years ago. I don't know many things that can transport you back in time like music can.
There is beauty in all music - sometimes it is obvious, sometimes you have to search for it. Country, rock, rap, instrumental - it all tells a story. If you shut your eyes all music can transport you to places you have been or places you imagine you will go someday.
It can inspire.
It can melt your heart.
It can anger or sadden.
Sometimes it can just make you smile.
It can pump you up -
"I got the eye of the tiger, a fighter, dancing through the fire
Cause I am a champion and you’re gonna hear me roar
Louder, louder than a lion
Cause I am a champion and you’re gonna hear me roar." - Katy Perry
As I write this, these lyrics are on repeat in my head (and I'm sure will be for quite some time). I haven't figured out yet if my affinity for this song has a meaning or a purpose in my life, or if I just plain like it. I can't wait to find out!
Rawrrrr....
...to be continued...
