I love listening to a variety of music, Pavarotti to AC/DC, Groban to Hank Williams, Jr. all have their place in my life. Music helps me work better and more importantly, happier. I really haven't listened to music as much as I would like in my adult life. Mainly, I listen to music in my car when I'm alone or on road trips when I'm driving and everyone else is sleeping. Alexa has changed that a bit. Now, I can ask her to play whatever suites my mood and mostly it works out as the television is far enough away in another room that no one is bothered by my music. Oh, I couldn't have worked on my master's degree very well with music going....I'm from another time in that regard. Quiet during homework was always my mantra. However, many other tasks that are more physical rather than mental can be done so much more pleasantly in the company of music. An added benefit is more movement. It is almost impossible to not dance, boogie, waltz, or sway to the rhythm of a good song.
So, music makes me happy. That's a start. Below you will see my daily goal for 2018. So everyday, I will try to create something. This could take many forms: make a card, a scrapbook page, cook a dish, plant a flower or vegetable, make a stain glass panel, make a piece of jewelry, or even create a new memory. There are no bounds or preconceptions. That would be anti-creative. Will I miss a day? Perhaps. Life often defies my plans but it is something for me to aspire to. I'm documenting this part of my journey on Instagram. I'm new to Instagram but I'm looking forward to using it in this way. Follow me @ Revision in Progress/Create.
