It's a silly time to learn how to swim on the way down...

I'm sitting here before my short work day I have ahead of me, wondering if getting into my car and driving 15 minutes to work is really worth it? I'm trying to see everything as a learning and growing experience (which might I add is very hard) but, I think it's a choice how we are going to feel every day we wake up. A friend told me we put ourselves in this state of misery ourselves. I thought it was crazy talk, I mean I would never purposely wake up late, run into some cranky customers, and lose my keys. Then I stopped and thought about it, I can pick how I want to handle situations changing the outcome of how I see everything.We hold so much power that we don't even know how capable we are to make or break every situation down to the very small things we do. Wouldn't you want to be happy even when things aren't perfect? Man, I sure would. I think it's marvelous what sets our moods as people. For some, it's a simple hello from a stranger, others is a good pot of coffee in the morning. Myself? well that's an easy one. Music.

I can honestly say that music is something that I have grown with. It's inspiring with its different sounds coming together to make one great one. Words written with stories and ideas behind every word, great minds putting their passion and time to make your emotions go wild. Words really can't explain it, it's a feeling within. The way Carole King decided to change the history of music by talking about the unspeakable desires of men and women on the radio with her powerhouse of a voice, or Joni Mitchell taking you along her journey of life and decisions made, you can hear her sadness in every word as if you were sitting right next to her and she was talking to you, or the forever loved and admired Beatles who will win over hearts with their harmonies and endless genius for minds. I am a just a virgin to all the incredible musicians that are out there and I'm constantly amazed how much music moves.
