The sounds of music can do so much for our souls.  Each of us has a different menu when it comes to music.   Is it Country & Western, Classic, Opera, Pop, Rhythm and Blues, Jazz, or Broadway Hits that strike your fancy?   About ten years ago, I got into Techno music.   I found it delightfully uplifting and good music for thinking creatively.  I often will go to Instrumentals for the very same reason.

Whether it is the music from a pipe organ, an acoustic guitar, or a piano, music speaks to us.  It either energizes our spirits, calms our fears, or relaxes us in a unique way.  It is therapy in a box.

Perhaps it is the Hip Hop era that takes you back to the days when you felt lighter?   Or the Folk Music when you were in high school?   Or the times when you got married or experienced a sacrament.  Music can also take us back to moments when we were with a special person or engaged in a special project.   That is why after someone has died and we hear a song, that we are totally shocked at tears flooding from our eyes.  We are suddenly sabotaged.   Likewise, it can bring us back to an exciting time.

Sometimes music is the common denominator that brings people of different backgrounds together to resolve issues or get connected.   No matter how one uses music or for what reason, I think it has the ability to draw us together for the common good.   It is an eraser for problems and the building blocks for improvement.  Even our pets like certain songs.   They may relate them to the time the whole family was at a barbecue or playing in the yard with them.

Turn on your Smartphone, listen to the radio, or have Alexa guide you to the place of great joy.  Take yourself to church or a concert and listen.  Focus and embrace the good things around you, your family, or your friends.  Enjoy your day and let the Mini Miracles of sound and joy radiate through you.   Delight in Living!
