So I begin my blog with the intention of keeping things happy, like my name, Joy. Irene is my middle name which means "peace" Joy and peace. I should have been born on Christmas. I guess January is close enough. I hated having my birthday in the winter, but now, considering the alternative? I am glad to be having a birthday at all!!!
Turning 50 in 2009 was not so easy. I feel old. Those that are 60 and up tell me I am still young. Young? It is not what I see when I look in the mirror. Young, is not what I feel when I lie in bed at night, trying to sleep and not being able to, because I hurt.
Oh WAIT!! Young IS what I feel when I listen to my music!! Ahhhh music is my God. Life is better because of music. I like to walk to music, fold laundry to music, sing to music (duh), dance by myself to music, bead (my other best friend) to music, fold laundry to music, clean the kitchen to music, drive to music. Music is my best friend.... I love music from The Ink Spots to AC/DC. There is nothing better than a beautiful voice. I find myself continually looking for "that" song that makes me feel. That song that moves me. That song that evokes memories and makes me cry. The one that sends shivers down my spine and makes me giggle inside with glee. The louder it is, the better I feel it, the better I like it. My love of music started when my mother took me to "The Sound of Music" Ohhhh how I LOVED Maria!! Then she took me to Mary Poppins and Chitty Chitty Bang Bang!! I was in my glory! How joyful Joy felt! Music affects my everyday life. I hum, I whistle, I sing, a few words from someone, reminds me of a song. Well, that's life! Frank Sinatra sang that didn't he?
