I haven't really been sure what to write lately. Partly because all of the emotions that I've felt in the past two week are listed above. Some may shy away from admitting most of those, but why? Who cares if people know you have some control issues? Or that you are sure what the next step is?

This blog is here for me to share some of the insights that I have learned while working at Chick-fil-A, yesterday I spent a solid 45 minutes listening to songs that I haven't heard in over 15 years. It's hard to find a subject that I have that much time invested in, but I've got one. We listen to music all day at our restaurant. Some of bring it into the kitchen, some of us listen to the music that plays on the speaker in the dining room, but we all listen to it, consciously or subconsciously. 

Music.

Music does things to people. "Makes them feel some type of way." It makes them emotional. In addition to the list above, most songwriters have a knack for taking that emotion and translating it into song, verse, and rhyme. 

It's a gift. When you see it, appreciate it. When you create it, call yourself an artist. 

If you are feeling like you need a lift, search for a song that was in your past and see if it doesn't light your fire or take you down a road you once traveled. The perspective could be life altering. Ok, maybe not that dramatic, but you could get a good laugh. 

This is hard to watch if you don't have a sense of humor.
