Life & Music


During my post myomectomy recovery, I have been listening to music throughout the day. I thought about how a certain song can bring back so many memories or evoke emotions. There are certain songs I listen to that can still get me teary-eyed no matter how long it's been since I've heard them. What is it about music that does that? It's almost like the artist is listening to your soul at the very moment they record the song, and somehow when it's released, it finds a away to hit you at the right time. It's crazy sometimes, because no matter how old a person is, if they hear a song that meant something to them, they can tell you exactly what they were doing or going through at the time the song was released. I remember in 1994 when Mary J. Blige's My Life Album came out, I thought she had been reading my mind. I played that album every day all day, and I could relate to just about every single song on the album. I booted up my Itunes this morning and played it and it took me back to 1994. Sometimes we need to revisit the past to help us get to where we're going in the future. I needed to go back in time for a moment...I advise you to do the same.
