The iPod. What a wonderful little electronic gadget! This was my inspiration for the day. It all started when my husband wanted to buy music off iTunes and encouraged me to buy music for myself. I thought, "Hey, that's a Great idea!" So I bought a few songs that I've been wanting to have in my library for the longest time but my brain never registered to go on iTunes to buy them! Here are the songs I bought:
- "Sweetly Broken" by Jeremy Riddle
- "Everything" by Michael Buble
- "Bubbly" by Colbie Caillat
Explore (Think and feel)
What was it about these songs that I bought and the list of songs on my iPod that inspire me? They all have really good replay value. So what is my definition of "good replay value"? It is somewhat a combination of:
- Positive messages (vocal songs) and happy feelings;
- Sometimes syncopated rhythms;
- A musical climax; and
- An artist that performs with passion.
It's been such a long time since I bought music for myself that I had forgotten how it good it feels to listen to the music that I love.
Share (Thoughts)
It is the end of the week and I applaud myself for blogging everyday, even though it's only been four days. For me, that is a big accomplishment and it shows how dedicated I am to this ongoing lifelong project of discovering, exploring, sharing and eventually changing the way I live.
As I listened to the songs on my iPod, I was thinking about this blog post and how this discovery affects me. Then it hit me! Music is a powerful thing! The idea is not new to me but in this discovery stage, music has a new meaning in my life. I've decided that from this day, I need to include more music of artists that I love into my life. I need to surround myself with things that I love and the way I can start is by listening to at least one song everyday that I enjoy -- but it shouldn't stop there. I also need to explore more music so that I can build my library. Thank you Apple, Inc. for being a fabulous company that makes it so easy for us to access a huge library of music!
Tomorrow is a new day. I will build upon this. What will I discover next about myself?
