Music

Music affects my mood.  When listening to an upbeat song, I am happy.  When listening to a sad song, I can be brought to tears.  When listening to a depressing song, I am depressed.  This can all happen in succession.  Talk about mood swings!

I know that I'm not alone in this.  Music is a powerful medium in our culture, which is probably why it is such a large industry.  Music touches us in a profound way.

I wrote a post recently about being cranky all of the time.  I was thinking about this in relation to the way music affects my mood, and I came to the conclusion that quite possibly I just need to listen to a steady stream of uplifting music!
