"Mood Music"

How can two words change so much? Changes thoughts. Change "mood." Change my day!!!

Today I am stressed out because in less than 24 hours I will be on my way to Germany!  I am so excited, but I want to enjoy instead of stress.  So my answer? Music, of course! Norah Jones,  John Mayer, Adele, Colbie Calait, Jack Johnson....they just are able to put me in the right frame of mind.  So here I am - packed, house cleaned, dishes done, have nothing to "get done" and just happy that I am able to actually embark on this dream!  I am so excited about checking this off of my bucket list!

But, listen.  I know the propriety of a well-placed artist!  While I am walking the canals of Venice, strolling along the piazza in Siena, and admiring the statue of David in Florence, you can bet I will be listening to Vivaldi's tunes.

And when I am missing someone special from home, I will be listening to ZZ Top.  It will put me right there!

So, I am looking forward to coming home and having a whole new appreciation for art, artists of all kinds, and music.  For it will have taken me to new places - if only in my mind.
