100 Days of Joy

I tried to post yesterday's joy last night but blogger wasn't working so here's yesterday's and today's...
Day 15-Today I found joy in music.
Whether you have the same taste in music as me or not doesn't bother me. Believe or not I actually have quite a broad range of musical tastes. I LOVE listening to classical (99.5 FM) and we listen to it everyday at naptime at work. I find it calming and sometimes intriguing! I like Third Day and Sara Groves, Ginny Owens, lots of different country musicians, Metro Station, Honor Society, Grits, Kris Kross (they'll make ya jump jump), I even enjoy a little Metallica now and again and yes we all know I LOVE the Jonas Brothers. Well I love their music, I don't actually know THEM. too bad...but my rambling point here is that I JUST love music. It feeds my soul, it makes me smile, sometimes cry, shout, dance. It moves me like nothing else can. I went to see Nick Jonas and the Administration in concert tonight and what struck me was the intensity with which he sings. That was a weird sentence but anyway he is obviously moved by music. Music brings people together, it tell stories, it lets people express themselves. I just love it and I always will!

Day 16 - Today I found joy in far away friends.
Well this kind of comes from yesterday but it spilled over into today so there. I have a group of friends who live far away from me. Most of them I've never met in person and we don't have a TON in common but we get each other in many ways. I'm sure we won't all keep in touch forever but I know they understand things about me that other people don't. Plus they make me smile and they give really good pep talks.
