POWER - The Power of Music

How have you been coping this past month? Has it been challenging for you, too? I’m finding it’s a bit like hiking up a mountain – the uphill is hard work and though the downhill will be easier, it will take a fair bit of effort, too. 

Through these weeks, I’ve been regularly reminded of the power of music.  From my kids singing their choir songs and making up silly lyrics, to dusting off the keyboard of our piano from time-to-time, to all other manners of music that are in the house.  Lately, my kids have been listening to the Trolls soundtrack. There are many upbeat, danceable tunes on the album which helps to channel their energy. (And yes, mom had been convinced to break for a mid-day dance party on occasion.) This morning I really listened to the lyrics of my kid’s “song on repeat”. Here’s a couple lines:

           “What if it’s all a big mistake? What if it’s more than I can take? NO I can’t think that way!”

And:

            “If they knock, knock me over, I will get back up again.”

WOW! This song should be our Covid anthem:  We’re in this together, therefore it’s not more than we can take. We’re getting knocked over and we will get back up again!
