marcoujor:  Musical Intermission - "I"

12/19/2018

12 Comments

 
Picture

In the blink of an eye, Christmas, 2018 will be upon us - proof that time flies, whether you're having fun or not.

'Tis the season to bring on the memories - both of the past and those memories in the making ...

​These days can hold sadness, sickness and sensitivity to the happiness of others - perhaps for you or someone you care about.

These days can also be filled with joy, laughter and wonder - especially when in the presence of our younger friends.

​If you are anything like me, these days likely hold a combination of feelings. Is it any surprise that I reach for my music. There is always a tune or twenty to match my current mood...!

​This week, I have selected four "I" songs with a Christmas theme. Hoping you take some time with a cup of your favorite beverage to put a little holiday magic in your heart.

Merry Christmas mar - Feelings, emotions, memories, yes certainly these brew inside all of us as we count ourselves lucky to have made the memories to begin with.

Listening to the music at this quiet hour.

OMG......a Feast to blow your mind! Wish you & Geoff & Andy could be here!
Thanks for the musical Xmas message. I'm sending you hugs and lots of love. Hoping your Holidays are glorious. Here's to 2019!!

Dearest Mar

Music is certainly the most powerful mood swinger on this planet. No medicine can beat it. Within seconds Sarah's "I heard the bells..." filled me with sadness. For many years now I can not even manage to sing the first line of Silent Night before acute sadness and a storm of tears force me to shut my mouth. I miss my childhood... when Christmas was a time of sheer joy.

I wish you and your loved ones and all my precious online friends a merry Christmas.

Hugs,

Martie

Dearest Martie,

Like you, music has the power to move me to tears for a myriad of reasons. I love you and your sweet, compassionate heart.

Thinking of you and those you love - sending you wishes for a peaceful and safe Christmas.

Hugs from your Sista, mar

    Welcome to my desk...

    I am a work in progress, so a rule of thumb is to expect the unexpected every week!

    Pull up a comfy chair and make yourself at home.

    Thank you,
