Each of us has a few things in our life that basically make our life what it is. These things may include family, sports, painting, art of another sort, quilting, books, writing, or interests like animals, history, or astronomy.

These things give our lives meaning and purpose. They make us unique and allow us to be different from others. In addition to making us unique, these things can also bring us together with others.

(One of my favorite movies, demonstrates this very well by calling these features “islands of personality.”)

For me, one of these identifying enthusiasms is music. Many of you share this excitement about music, which is why I’m doing a month fully dedicated to it.

I found this quote and immediately wanted to write a post about it. I’m constantly thinking of music, making it seem like my mind is as focused on music as it is on breathing. I also think that the right kinds of music can have a calming effect on us – similar to breathing deeply.

I hope that you have a lovely day, filled with sunlight and song lyrics. Breath in the music, and let it become the way you breath.
