Music Calms the Savage Beast...

Whoever said music calms the savage beast isn't too far off the mark. Music can lift a mood or transport to another place. Today as I leave the hustle and bustle of work, go out into the gloomy, misty, cold, I get in the car and put in one of my favorite Christmas CDs featuring Dean Martin and Nat King Cole. I let the music envelop me and transport me. I am calmed. The music gives me happy thoughts of the impending holiday. Thoughts of gifts yet to be made and given. Thoughts of spending time with family and friends. These thoughts warm and relax me. Once again the beast within is calmed, for another day at least.
