Meaningful

Ask me what kind of music I like and, depending on the moment, it could be anything from Mendelsohn to Sousa, Irish folk songs to Indie, popular music from the seventies to music made by people I personally know and love.

And those are the songs I always love the most. Music played for me by people whose hearts touch mine personally.

The people in my life who play music for me are people who care about people. They do more than warble pretty words, they back those words up with actions. They are the truly beautiful people who are beacons in this dark world.

Everyone generally does something good sometime, but I know people who put themselves out there for others nearly every day. Not just giving a nod to them, but actually going out of their way to do something that will really make them happy, or improve their lives. They are people looking for ways to be meaningful.

Sometimes when I am feeling really low I think of these people who take the time to give themselves and their  love to others in personal ways that say, I know you and I love you and I care enough about you to try hard to ease your way.

That's the kind of person I wish to be.
