Music again.

Ugh.  As anyone close to me can tell you, I get irritated by lots of noise.  It’s just too much sometimes for me to hear lots of different noises competing all at once.  It’s sort of like when I walk into Best Buy.  You know how there’s a different song playing in each different department? Well, when I can hear all of them at once, I’ve got about 5 minutes before I want to run screaming from the building.

Makes me think of my study of music in college. Music had always been something I’d loved! But college altered that for me … so many classes, so much microscopic study of music, so many demanding performances and stressed out professors … I didn’t even want to listen to the radio for about six months after I graduated.

But then life started to take a turn when I became a Mom.  All the sudden, my heart began to find reasons to sing again.  It’s like life had opened up a portal, and my heart’s music wanted to play once again.

Question:  Was there a time when your life just seemed “noisy” or “chaotic” or “unharmonious?” Where something you loved to do just didn’t thrill you like it used to?

Food For Thought:  What did you do to get through that time?

Challenge:  Can you find reasons to “sing” again? To do that thing that makes your heart soar, even just a little?
