Sing Your Way Through

By Gloria Nesloney

Have you ever just turned on the radio and said, “I love this song?” You started singing the words. It didn’t matter if you were off key. For just a moment, your mind remembers when you heard that song for the first time. If the song had any real meaning, your emotions can be heard as you try to get the words out. You may find your emotions shift as your memory allows laughter, love, strength, or joy to be experienced. Sometimes the thoughts may go to a time where you went through heartbreak or loss. That kind of song gets stuck in your throat, but the memory lingers until you hear the next favorite song to change the atmosphere.
