Y.I. Wednesday: Why I Love to Listen to Chris Botti

Most who know me, know I love various kinds of music.

And, Oh, why not love Chris Botti?

Just listen, or watch... and find out....

He is amazing, enchanting and talented.

There's nothing bad about his music and if you like Sinatra...

or enjoy relaxing...

Chris Botti is for you...

Y.I. Wednesday: Why I Am Appreciative for Life

I went for a barrage of tests last week.

I tried to think positive as I drove to the lab.
And pretended that's not where I was actually going.

While in the waiting room, I prayed.

As I got poked, pushed and scanned...
I acted as if it was business as usual and still tried to think positive
(though I'm sure my nervous chatter made the technician think otherwise).

I'd like to say that during the next week,
while I waited for the results,
that I forgot all about it...
but I didn't.

Finally, the follow up doctor's visit arrived. 

That's when I got serious and said some more prayers on my way to the office...

 I Got The Results and Prayed Again ~ 
This Time a Prayer of "Thanks For a Wonderful Life"....

I like to think I appreciate the good, the bad, the struggles, the lessons, the air I breathe and the
opportunity to experience it all, but honestly, as a human, I know I don't always.


But when faced with moments like these, I think we all find a whole lot more appreciation...

Y.I. Wednesday: Why I Love Rock and Roll and a quote from Eddie Van Halen

Why I Love Rock & Roll:

1. Because, without it I would never be able to get the house cleaned fast enough...
2. Because, I'm an 80's kid.
3. Because, I hung out with the long hairs in high school.
4. Because, I had friends in bands.
5. Because, there was MTV!!! (And Headbangers ball!)
6. Because, a lot of the time Rock & Roll makes a lot of sense!
7. Because, Elvis was born.
8. Because, I was in love with Jon Bon Jovi... (which came first, Bon Jovi or my love for R&R?)

And to think....I turned out okay after all of that...

It doesn't matter what you're in to...it matters who you are...

~ Don't Judge ~

"It's always a Catch-22 situation. 

They hate you if you're the same, and they hate you if you're different." 
~ Eddie Van Halen

Watch This Video of A Favorite Song, Done by Connie Talbot

This video made me smile.
I love the song Imagine,
it is one of my all time favorites
  and it was done so very well by this young lady who stole
Simon Cowell's heart on Britan's Got Talent.
