Music to keep you sane

You know the expression..

I can read you like a book..

For me it's more like

I can read you like an itunes playlist..

OK, that's not quite as catchy..

The point is

You want to know how I feel.

Listen to the music I am listening to.

Used to be that when I was upset

I would listen to venting music..

I loved me some Dashboard Confessional.

For those of you who don't know what that is.

Just do this

say everything that annoys you..

How sad it makes you feel..

And for good measure add some screaming..

And you have a dashboard song.

One time Court came home to me violently stirring fudge

While listening to dashboard.

Poor fudge.

Now my approach is different..

Before I allowed myself to wallow.

Now I listen to music that puts my perspective back where it needs to be..

I put on Hillsong

or some other Worship music

(yes, the Holloways do listen to worship music besides Hillsong)

(just not very often)

But today I remembered a CD I use to have..

and I have been listening to it nonstop.

Nicole Nordeman..

Woven and Spun

Here is one of my favorite songs..

That puts my perspective back..

And doesn't involve any wallowing..

But if I am listening to this ablum it might mean I had a bad day..

So approach with caution flowers
