Music Makes a Difference in Life

Somehow I have gone from a lover of music to rarely playing music in my daily routine. My husband is very much a music lover and I feel that me ignoring what he is playing and wanting me to hear has distanced us. Starting to listen again has made me realize how powerful music is. I had him put a CD on for me while sewing the other night. It was amazing!

I haven't had that much fun sewing in a long time! I can't remember what he played for me. I think it was The Black Keys. After that CD was over, I put in an old favorite, Pound Hound! I don't want to sew again without music.

My new found energy is an amazing feeling! The next piece of the puzzle is exercise. Today I started the Couch to 5K running program. I downloaded the app to my phone as well as Pandora radio. I decided to create a The Black Keys channel. Their new album, El Camino has made me so excited to move! The first track, Lonely Boy gets me moving and thinking about Ol' dude in their video of the song. He has amazing energy and some moves!

Week 1, Day 1 of the Couch to 5K completed successfully! It felt amazing! My favorite song of the workout was The Cave by Mumford & Sons. I made a station for this song for my next run. During this work out, I reflected on how I want my life to go. Life feels good and I am looking forward to every moment in the future! Starting weigh is 150. I hope to be back to a healthy 120 by summer!

Running today inspired me to start write for the first time in years!
