The gift of music

Music, ahh there is nothing like music. Oh how I miss singing. I've noticed that I feel so much different in the days that I spend time singing. I think if I started to have a "music time" every day w/my boys, each day would get better. I can already see my love for music in my older son, he frequently sings along w/the songs in movies, or even asks me to sing songs for him. There are days when he just changes everything :) I am so incredibly blessed to have my beautiful boys. The joys of being a mother are so much more amazing than anyone could ever explain. there is just something about seeing a child that you have given life to, growing everyday, watched them change and develop their own unique personalities. I have learned so many lessons so far from mothers that I've come across over the years since becoming a mother myself, but I think that the greatest gift a parent can give, is to love and support their children in ANYTHING that they choose, and believing in them, I see some parents that I've know all my life, and really seen in a diffent light now that I'm a mom. But I try to simply learn from the "faults" that I see in others, and just be a better person and mom, than I would otherwise have been.

Ahh I've been really considering getting a guitar (and teaching myself to play it) or maybe even a piano. I tought myself to play the piano as a kid, and I enjoyed it, but shortly after, I started to take voice lessons (which I LOVED, more than anything) and stopped playing, but I would still love to take it up again also. I just love the idea of me teaching my kids to play, and really love music the way that I always have. I dream sometimes about singing on stage again. Oh how I miss the stage!!! It's been SOO SOO long, infact my own husband, of nearly 6 years, has never heard me sing anywhere, on stage or anything. I of course sing along w/everything as I always have, but still it's different when it's something you've rehearsed and everything. I'd love to start writing music again as well.... I'm sure it'll all come in it's own time, but meanwhile, I'll start looking for a used guitar somewhere online, and maybe I'll find something for a good deal that I can start on. Well it's a good start I think so hooray, something to look forward to :) Until tomorrow....
