A Walk Down Memory Lane


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

  1. I always love listening to music... just makes me want to get up and dance too. I loved the comment in conference about how happy children sing...happy adults sing too...and they dance.
