Music sustains me

No matter what turn my life takes, or what loss or pain or sadness I encounter along the way, it’s amazing how much music can ease my mind and put a smile back on my face.

The way I see it, you’re not experiencing life to its fullest if you don’t feel the entire range of emotions.  What’s so great about being happy all the time if you never have bad days to compare it to?  Being sad isn’t a bad thing, given good cause.  Better yet, it’s an opportunity – to make sure you fully appreciate the good in life, the happy days, the blue skies and starry nights and anything else that makes you feel alive.

No song consistently lifts my spirits like “Best of what’s around” by the Dave Matthews Band. 

Tonight I’m listening to it twice.
