			Just the thought of drums makes me smile... The good solid beat of drum music... mmmm... Makes me want to dance, belly dance... and grounds me... This is joyful.

			 Quote: 
	
 If I'm angry or frustrated, Disturbed or Three Days Grace or Breaking Benjamin is good. If I am contemplative, One Republic or Daughtry or John Mayer or Rob Thomas is good. If I'm just kind of rowdy, Nickelback or Pitbull or Ciara is good. If I'm feeling sweet, Colbie Caillat or Demi Lovato or Mandy Moore is good. These are good singers and groups that I consider my 'go to' music, but there are several acts that have produced music that can fit into different categories, such as Christina Aguilera, Madonna, Bianca Ryan, and T-SO.  |

			What gives me peace? 
		
		
		
		
		
		
			Mint hot chocolate. Candles My living room that is so comfortable and homey A bath Feeding my feral cats that after 10 months are finally letting me pet them. The look in my cats eyes when he looks at me when I pet him and sing to him. Watching a movie with my Father. Hearing water flowing. Watching snow fall. Being held in front of a fireplace.

			A clean house with the dog/cat snuggled up after a long walk 
		
		
		
		
		
		
		
	Soft music getting out my journal and purging to see where I am Coffee and meditations with the sounds of my girlfriend tinkering butch things in the background. Waking from or going into an afternoon nap and listening her breathe, feeling her warm next to me brings a calmness from the rhythm.  |

			Sometimes if I become unnerved by something...or someone....I have learned to just stop.  I stop and turn on the music.  And I let the music be my blanket. I allow myself to become immersed in it and centered by it.  Music is my greatest Peace Resource.....always has been.

			I admit it; I eat my emotions.  So, on the days when I realllllly need some peace, I will get it from food.  That first couple of bites is HEAVEN. 
		
		
		
		
		
		
			
		
		
		
		
	On a side note, did anyone know that after the first couple of bites of a new food, your taste buds begin to fade and lose some of the flavor of the food?  |
