Musical Emotions

I swear I have too much of an emotional attachment to music.  Some songs make me cry.  Do any of you have that problem?  Omg here comes  the tears as Guns~N~Roses sing Patience.  I have always had a strong attachment to music.  As a child, my roots were in bluegrass, country, and southern rock.  In my teenage years, I fell in love with Paula Abdul's dance music, Hard Rock, and Metal.  Then in college, my admiration for Blues, Classical, and Orchestra music blossomed.  As a momma, Casting Crowns cultivated my love for Christian music.  I feel it so profoundly, and many songs can take me right back to a good or bad time within moments of coming on the radio.  I worked in my dad's music for ten years, so I met many musicians who introduced me to Blackgrass, Reggae, Folk, Rap, and Alternative.  Loretta Lynn, Otis Paula, and Metallica will always be my true favorites.

Anyway, enough about me.  How is your day?  I am feeling pretty good.  No MS fog this morning, so I made it to Cookeville.  Austin needed help while he is in California at NAMM.  I love all the pictures and videos he is sending me.  George and David are here, and they almost got inventory finished.  Janna has been here helping me as I navigate my way through paperwork.  I am finding that it is much less stressful when someone isn’t rushing you or calling asking for Z-out totals every five minutes.  I love the way my son runs his business because he is kind to his customers and his family.  I have to admit I was not feeling it when we first headed to Cookeville yesterday, but now I am almost done.  Maybe later I can visit with my sister's children.  Things are working out in every part of my life that truly matters.  I have lived a long life full of ups and downs, but most importantly, I LIVED!

We have to stop meeting like this....

Tonight I talked to myself.  I said,” self, why do you feel the way you do?”  Then I said,” self, we have to stop meeting like this because it's one o'clock in the morning”!  I laughed because regardless of the predicament I find myself in, sometimes I don't understand why I do the things I do. Have you ever had a random thought and wondered, “why did I think about that?.  I try to ignore my random thoughts and feelings, but sometimes they just come out when I least expect it. Example 1 ~ When I forget to take my medication, I feel everything.  The depression, sadness, and pain flood in, and all I can do is cry myself to sleep. Example 2 ~ I was watching season three of Anne with an E tonight, and it hit me.  I was crying and feeling very sad.  I should be happy because it was a beautiful ending. However, my mind was thinking about how they loved each other in their youth and found each other again. Right now, in my life, love songs and anything sappy makes me cry.

Beauty in the chaos

Early voting started Friday, so I went to town and voted in the States Primary.  It was a peaceful drive, and then Friday night, we watched the movie 2012. There are so many theories and conspiracies floating around online that the movie made me think about all of them. My thoughts quickly turn to religion and how none of us know when our lives will end. Humanity has gotten it wrong, so many times, and religious leaders continue to attempt to guess, but even the Bible says no one knows. One thing that I know for sure is the earth is a breathtaking place, and I continue to find small glimpses of its beauty amidst the chaos.  Just yesterday, we went to Fall Creek Falls State Park, and I took a dip in the cold water. Families and children were everywhere, laughing and playing.  You would never think that the USA is in an uproar. I saw no signs of social distancing or a pandemic.  I didn't see any mask.  Men were walking their dogs, and the beautiful smells of wood burning flo
