Thought for the day…..music, it’s really a wonderful thing, just putting on a song can take you back to a different time and place and make memories and moments in time come alive again. I love it, I love you tube as well because there is so much music out there at your fingertips!

This summer while visiting my sisters in Florida we happened to have a stormy rainy day and nothing on the agenda. It was during August which is storm season so you just aren’t guaranteed a day at the beach EVERY day!! 

I was messing around checking my email and such on the computer then just asked my sisters…..think of a song you haven’t heard in ages! And we were off and running, they hadn’t ever heard of You Tube and so it was even more fun, we listened to stuff that none of us had heard for a lonnnnnnnnnggggg time!

It was funny because I remember some of the music they used to listen to when I was a kid but there was a lot I missed somewhere a long the line, so I it was fun for me to hear the songs they listened to and then the stuff we all liked. After a while we just got on a roll remembering songs we all used to listen to growing up and things that had special memories attached that we had long since forgotten.

Our kids would call during the day to see what we were up to and just not get it! we had been transported to a different place and time and were just having a blast! The hours passed and we watched the rain and sang and danced to the songs of our youth, before we knew it kids and husbands were arriving home and wondering what was for dinner and what HAVE you guys been doing all day!

So, the next time you are feeling nostalgic or it’s just raining outside and you have nothing to do, take a trip down memory lane with your kids and share the music from your youth with them and have fun!

Cheers!
