Lend an Ear....

I love music.  I love how it can cheer me up, I love how it can motivate me, I love how it can vividly bring back old memories, I love how it can make me cry and I especially love how it can teach me and touch my heart in ways nothing else can.

I've heard that men and women hear music differently.....men usually hear the rythym and beat--the sound of the song.  And women generally pay attention to the words of a song first.  You can a ask a man what a song is about and he might not know, he might just like the song because of the way it sounds.  And a woman might say that she loves a song because of the message.  I definitely follow this pattern.....when a new song comes on the radio, the first thing I do is listen to the words.  Maybe this is why I love music. Right now there is a song on the radio that chokes me up every time I hear it. It gives me a reality check and really motivates me to "live in the now."  It's all about how life goes by so fast, so we just need to enjoy every moment and every phase, especially in our kids' lives because it won't be like this for long.  This is something that can easily be overlooked in our busy lives....I know it is for me. Anyways, it touched me and I wanted to share.....

To listen, look to the right and scroll to song #17 on the pink playlist.
