Power of Music

Music is a very powerful thing....  and never ceases to amaze me.  It can change our mood from bad to good, it can energize us, soothe us, and remind of us long ago days. 

In my weekend quest of cleaning house, I decided to purge through some of my old CDs (and got rid of all the cassettes!)

Some of the music I needed to purge through I've had since the 1990s... that was before some of you were even born! lol  But before I purged, I decided there were some I had to listen to first -- just to be sure.  Now, there were some CDs I didn't have to listen to -- I could tell by the handwriting on them they were like the "custom mixed tapes" we used to make back in high school for our sweethearts.  They were given to me by an ex -- and there's no need to keep that around any longer!  But the ones that fascinated me the most were the church hymn CDs. 

Back in the 90s, I was part of a local church choir - we sang at three services every Sunday, sometimes on Weds night, and performed five different "shows" for the major holidays.  What surprised me about the music was that I remembered all the words and could sing along!  Mind you, I haven't sang those choruses since 1998 when I left California- that was 16 years ago.  The power of music is simply amazing!  And so are our brains -- even when something's been filed away and never opened for years upon years, the data is still there! 


Never underestimate the power of music and what it can do for you!

 PS:  Amazingly enough, with tunes going, I got a lot of housecleaning done, it looks amazing!  :)
