So a few weeks ago in Relief
Society we were talking about our homes and ways we can improve the spirit and
life in our homes. So I decided that I was going to start playing music more in
my home. We put my IPOD station in the Living Room and started turning it on
throughout the day. It’s been kind of interesting as I have been listening to
these songs how they have brought back memories of times before. As I listened
to N’sync and Backstreet Boys I think of the many times I was cleaning my room,
and listening to those songs. When I listened to certain songs like those by
the group B*Witched I think of the times I spend playing Barbies and make
believe with my nieces. I listened to the EVITA sound track and thought of the
many times that I would pretend that I was in the play, and as Evita…. (yes I
was that lame…. I would listen to the whole sound track singing and acting out
in our big dining room). I hear songs by Taylor Swift and think of my dear
friend Laurie…. Rascal Flatts makes me think of the Concert I was able to go to
with my best friends shortly before 2 of my good friends got married. There are
songs that I hear that makes me think of ex-boyfriends, and songs that I hear
that make me think of the Love of my Life. There are songs that remind me of
the time my Niece and I drove to California and spent a week in Disneyland.
So
many songs and so many memories, Most of them good memories.
It is amazing to me the power that
song has on your mind. I have seriously loved listening to these songs, and
walking down memory lane. Some of these times I miss, and other I don’t but I
am grateful for the experiences and the lessons that I learned. I love walking
down memory lane….. I think I will do it more often!
Love,
TT
