Day 7

Today I'm grateful for music.

It's funny how there's music for almost every type of mood.

On my ipod I have so many different genres to reflect...

ballads, rock, rap, classical, show tunes, pop, jazz, indie.

They can make me reflect on life, be happy, want to dance, make me cry, have the endurance for a really long run, or cheer me up.

Music can also make you think of memories. 

For example, when I hear any song from Moulin Rouge: 

I remember being on a school trip in California and belting those songs from my balcony with friends.

Ahhh, good times.

Or how when I think of Eminem's song 'Lose Yourself' from 8 Mile, 

I just want to run. 

Music is such an important part of my life.

It's also a great way for me to express my emotions. 

Wondering how?

There's a few of you out there that probably remember that I play the violin and piano?

While I wish I played them more (I wish I had a piano), every time I pick up my violin it's like there's another part of me that comes out.

 By playing I can let go of my fears, frustrations, and relax.

And for that I am very grateful.
