Taking
Time to Truly Unwind
Last night, I was talking to my mom about how
tensed and stressed I felt. I had taken a nap after work, but I wasn’t quite
relaxed. She gave me a suggestion. She told me to listen to some really good
music. It doesn’t have to be any certain type or genre, but a song that has a
positive message, and a good rhythm, she said. I thought about how I love
artists who sing soulful, jazzy songs with profound messages. Artists such as
Sade and Indie Arie are known for their thought-provoking, poetic lyrics. My
mom actually introduced me to the sultry sounds of Sade when I was a little
girl. I still love her music today. I found some of my favorites by her and
Indie Arie online. Actually, I found a song on YouTube both artists sang so
beautifully. It’s called "Pearls" by Sade. The song depicts the
plight of a single mother in Africa. I was grateful to have someone to remind
of my favorite artists, and dare me to actually sit and enjoy the music!
Day 7
“Today, I’m grateful for truly good music
from gifted, abstract artists!”
