Today I'm feeling thankful for music. I love music - torch songs to swing to classical to Broadway to pop/rock to Christian to hymns. Even some heavy metal, R&B and rap. I like to listen to music, to sing music, to play it on the piano... Listening to the right music can be a huge boost to a bad mood, calming on an anxious day, soothing to a cranky child.
What brought this to my mind this week was the beautiful piece that was played during President Obama's inauguration ceremony. "Air and Simple Gifts" arranged by John Williams. It was such a wonderful piece of music.
