the notes...


even though i can't play a lick of music, i have a deep appreciation for it.
it can be so powerful.  
one song can mean something different for each person who hears it. 


music inspires me.  i listen to music while i work.
  sometimes i like soft music.  sometimes i rock out.   


each of my children play several instruments.
  and to me, there's nothing more endearing than a child learning to play an instrument.
 the wrong notes and weird sounds that come out at first
 and the joy when they figure it out.


what a special talent to be able to write music.  i've heard musicians talk about hearing the notes in their head.  i sometimes see art in my head.  so i understand.


and there is such beauty in the instruments.  have you ever really examined one?  a piece of art, each one.



above is a journal i made, inspired by music.  and on the first page, my favorite music quote, which i'm pretty sure i've shared with you before.  in case you've forgotten.  and a few notes to inspire you...
