Thankful

I’ve been counting my blessings this week and I'm thankful for music. I grew up near farmland and my small AM radio could only pick up a classical and country station. The classical music had no lyrics so I’d imagine a story while listening. I’d place the radio under my pillow and lower the volume so my parents wouldn’t take it away. At age ten we moved to a bigger town and I played trumpet for six years in school. Today that radio would be considered an antique and maybe I am too. I enjoy listening to movie scores while painting now and I’m thankful for technology that makes it enjoyable like ear buds and Spotify. And yes, I still listen late at night while painting in the studio. So make the time to relax and enjoy some good music everyone, and Have a Happy Thanksgiving.
