More Music

It seems all I talk about is music so far on this thing, but the thing is, most of my musings happen as I drive to and from church choir.  I mean, they happen at other times, like in the middle of the night, and while they sound genious to me at the time, I don't remember any of it at all, just that I thought it was genious...hmmm...
Anyways, back to my original muse.  Music.  How I love it.  It is amazing the power music has to change a mood, give comfort, and get you moving.  Church choir is just one example of how much music influences me.  I could show up stressed and worried about life, and by the time I leave, I am relaxed, humming and loving every minute of this life that is mine. 
We recently used our tax return money to purchase a piano, and having a piano in our home has changed the atmosphere completely.  Instead of going right to the tv, my husband instead goes to the piano and plays.  He has an amazing talent to play by ear, and it is beautiful and calming.  So instead of some guy show, which usually involves guns and explosions, I get to hear beautiful music. 
I enjoy playing the piano as well, although my talent is nowhere near my husband's.  I do know how to read music and I can usually plunk my way through some of the hymns that we have in our hymnal.  I'm no great talent at playing or singing, but being a part of the music increases the happiness I feel ten-fold.  Oh, how I love it!
