Every once in a while Life deals us all a bad card, you know, when things don’t go right or bad things happen that you have to deal with, like it or not. All my life I had that one constant that I could always turn to whether I am happy or sad and that is Music. And I like all kinds of Music: my favorite of course has been and always will be Classic Southern Rock but my favorite genres also include Country, Classic R&B and individual artist songs that have a special meaning to me. I would be amiss if I did not mention the Maestro Andrea Bocelli who will always have a special place in my heart because his music has done so much for me in happy and sad days.
If I were to ask you what you do when you’re sad or bad things happen to you, you probably tell me that you turn to your family and kids first and foremost. I have no kids and the only family is my sister in Ireland and my father in Germany but the latter is in name only. So for me it is always Music, my animals and my friends.
Your turn if you are willing to share.

It seems like music
does it for a lot of people. It does for me, too. Music was the biggest part of my life, when I was in school. When things get bad I like to listen to the music of the ‘70s, and sometimes the ’80s. Instrumental jazz will lift me, too, but I haven’t listened to any of that for a long time.

Music
And it’s usually one song in particular; I’ll just hit the repeat button the CD player and cry my eyes out…..eventually I’ll wrap my brain around what’s going on and I pray and pray…….

There
are some times that I turn to my friends for help & guidance, but mostly I jump in the car and just drive; playing the radio or CD player. And honestly, there always seems to be that one song that will come on that you have heard before but never really listened to, you know, and you actually hear what the song is saying and its just what you needed to remind you that you have choices and God has given you a pretty good life! Karin, I think music is a big part of people’s lifes like that song(s) that will always remind you of someone or some place special.

I'm there now.......
So yes, MUSIC does soothe the soul – Blues and Jazz work for me…….and I am learning to pray to the Father when desperation hits. Like now, where $4. per gallon of gas have made it to where I can hardly live to go to work.

Its
usually my family that brings me down, The kids on drugs, the wife gambles, parents are dead, I turn to God and Church for help. It works. Or I just go shoot about 1000 bullets at a tree

Seen in Different Light
First let me explain that I tend to look at things a litte different than some do,, my situation demands it, the ability to stay positive even when others see “BAD”,, I look at this as a wa of learning, and when learnins are had,, then no “BAD” occured,,
Although I do tend to talk to my Horse when things get a little fuzzy in the old Cowboy Hat Hanger,,,,
Of course I can come and see KAREN,, she always makes me smile,,,,,
Keeping the Faith
