30 Days Until 30 - Day 23

Have I expressed how much music has helped me over the last 30 years? When I was a kid I was all about country music. Although I remember my very first favorite song was Take My Breath Away from the Top Gun soundtrack. As I got into my teens I even got to meet a few of my inspirations (Martina McBride, JoDee Messina).

Some where along the way I ventured into other genres. I remember loving I Don't Want To Miss a Thing by Aersomith (again from a movie soundtrack - Armageddon). Then it was Bon Jovi, Matchbox Twenty, Goo Goo Dolls...

In 2006 My Chemical Romance release Welcome to the Black Parade. I was going through some major life moments that I was choosing not to deal with. MCR quietly, well actually incredibly loudly, held my hand & charged through all of it.

These days music is amazingly fun to listen to with my kids, watch my husband play, & yes, it still helps me. As I take on big projects or even just during average household chores, music makes everything brighter.

Music is more than the soundtrack to my life - it is the memories, the moments, the possibilities.

Be nice. When invoking your free speech right stop and think: I can say this, but should I? And remember Wazowski, I'm watching you... always watching.
