Today I'm so thankful for music. Music can really make your day better and can be so soothing! This morning, I heard a song by Amy Grant called I Need a Silent Night. It's all about how we all just rush around this time of year and basically miss the peace. I really listened to the words and realized we can all get caught up in the December rush of shopping, traffic, cooking, cleaning and how often do we get to just sit in peace and have a silent night? Then when it's all over, we have missed it- the joy, the true meaning of it all and the peace.

Tonight my son, Nick had his 6th grade Band Christmas concert, I loved listening to the music and just sit there enjoying our friends around us and listening to the kids play their hearts out.

Tomorrow night I'm attending my church's Christmas concert, opening night and I will enjoy some awesome music with great friends. This year my goal is to avoid the hustle and bustle and have a few silent nights.
