Music

Over at Quiet Life today the topic is music.

Music is key to our lives. Just reading through and thinking about some of the listed songs and the songs of my life brought tears to my eyes.

So I'll share just a glimpse over here, but head over to Quiet Life and relive some memories.

Amanda by Boston, was meeting the love of my life.

Marillion was someone I knew long ago who pushed me along. He never realized it and I didn't for many, many years, but knowing him and that time in my life was really a start of growing up. It was perhaps the first time I ever made a really big girl decision, of course it was to walk away and on to something else, but it was a decision just the same.

Pseudo was varsity cheer leading. We rocked at summer camp.

I Wish You Peace by the Eagles, was Senior year, Jazz band, Miles, moving on and saying good bye.

Cyndi Lauper, Tina Turner, Indigo Girls and Sarah McLachlan was a summer of girl stuff. Concerts and parties and lots more growing up. Man oh man, I lived and loved that year.

Come Sail Away was college, sailing and Oshkosh.

Brown Eyed Girl has been a theme song for years and years.

Jesus Loves Me rocked each one of my babies to sleep.

It's Time For Me To Fly was my wedding day. I know, a little strange, but it was what it was.

Now, it's the worship songs that bring me to tears and give voice to my days, my heart. Songs like Jesus, Bring the Rain; the new version of Amazing Grace, Bless The Broken Road.

I know most of the titles are wrong, but I know you know what I mean.

I know too, that you're like everyone else. You list could go on and on, event after event, year after year.

Songs are a part of what makes our lives what they are.
