Music

I love music.  I think if I had to between being deaf or blind, I would choose to be blind.  The thought of not being able to hear my babies laugh, or hear their babble and first words is very terrible!  I think sounds are the most moving things to me.  I love listening to people read books, or one of my favorites is listening to the rain!  I think I could go without seeing as long as I could hear the life going on around me.

When someones situation in their personal life moves me I sit down to my piano and write music.  It's so therapeutic for me.. me and my piano have a relationship don't judge! lol   Sometimes I can sit down to play and this music comes from my hands that I never knew I could create.  I really give the credit to God because I know he is the one that gives me the music for me to play.  I wrote a couple of songs for my sister a few months back for a wedding present to her.  I'm working on another one for my sister Ashley who is getting married in a couple of months.  I still can't believe I wrote those songs, I think they are beautiful!  But they are my songs and I'm connected to them.  I love getting inspiration it is one of the most amazing things I have ever felt.  Connecting to someone or something and showing it through song.  It makes me happy.  I'm always nervous to play the music for the person I'm writing it for because what if they don't like it!  I don't think they would tell me if they didn't ;)  When I miss that certain person I play their song and it comforts me. Even though they are so faraway from me I feel them with me through the music.  I think one day I will write enough songs for a CD, maybe one day I'll even give concert....maybe :) 

 I love it when I hear a song and it speaks to my soul.  Like this song Gravity by Sara Bareilles this song speaks to me.    

Really music part of my daily life, if I'm not listening to music I'm singing to my kids or playing my piano.  I hope that never changes!  YAY for music! lol
