music for my soul...

today in my intro to music therapy class we listened to Samuel Barber's Adagio for Strings and it hit me smack dab in my gut. i don't know what it was about this piece of music but it totally captured me and my attention and didn't let me go until the last note. we were told to close our eyes and just visualize mental images while the music played, and just hearing everyone's interpretations was really amazing and super cool.

there's something about music that reaches deep down inside of you - more than any words ever could. something about it that speaks to the very insides of your being. something that allows it to unleash feelings that you might not have ever realized you felt...now i'm not talking about the music you hear on the radio (although some of that stuff is pretty good) but i'm talking about the real juicy music that leaves you feeling a sense of satisfaction...

ah, music....*sigh* need i say more? :)

h a p p y one year a n n i v e r s a r y justinhead. :) *muah*

there have been ups and downs...but somehow we managed to get through it all, and in the end that's the most important bit. you're a special one...thanks for everything. couldn't have done it without you - literally. *heehee* :)

bye summer...hello autumn. :)

good grief! good bye summer! :D hahahaha. no. i'm just joking. (honest). summer this year was an interesting one. it wasn't my best summer but there were some high points.

as i look back and reflect, i guess i've learned a lot. a lot about myself - what gets me happy, down, annoyed, giddy and generally what areas of my life that need improvement.

this whole summer has been about change. and if you know me i don't really deal with change the best. everything has been changing and the end of it all everything seems different. i'm glad that through everything, God has continued to be the one constant in my life. we heard a sermon about it yesterday at church. i think that i needed to heard certain parts - thanks God.

anyway, it's so easy to want things to go back the way they were - to live in the past. but, that's not what life is about. like switchfoot so eloquently put, "yesterday is dead and over".

so *cheers* to summer, but i'd be lying if i said i wasn't looking forward to autumn - it's my favourite season of the year. i loooooove it. :)
