Music

I LOVE music. Lots of different kinds. Obviously there's a whole world full of choral music, which I love. But today what I'm thankful for is the almost magical quality that music has to change me. I get lonely a lot when I'm home during the day. And that often translates to a very non-productive Meagan. I'm not sure why, but I don't want to do ANYTHING when I'm feeling lonely, and especially not the dishes, laundry, etc. But if I pick something to listen to - whether it be classical, country, nostalgic, a musical, whatever - it changes me. The music itself can keep me company, give me energy, and just brighten my mood. Today I discovered that my dvd player does indeed play CDs, and those speakers have their issues but they are infinitely better than my computer speakers. So today I filled the house with MoTab christmas music, and now The Secret Garden. I LOVE the Secret Garden. That is definitely one good thing that came out of the 80s. haha. My grandparents are big fans of all things broadway and they introduced me to the musical long long ago. They even took me to see it in a community theatre, and I absolutely fell in love. I've never really liked any of the movie versions of the story, but the musical really moves me. I never get tired of it, and it always makes me happy.
