Thanksgiving was a very enjoyable time as always. My husband and I had a nice little meal here at home just the two of us. On Friday, a friend and I went shopping. We spent the entire day at different stores looking at all the sales. We bought a couple of items, but I tried to stay within budget and only buy what I needed to buy. The sales were great but man were the crowds crazy. There were lines everywhere. My friend had wanted to buy a laptop and she did. I didn’t think we could get to the stores in time to get one because everyone wanted the same item, but somehow we did. We finished all our shopping in the early afternoon. I went home exhausted after the busy day. I won’t be doing another one of those for a long time.
Every once in a while, I’ll pick a new song to play on the piano. It’s been a while since I’ve taken lessons but I know enough to read music and play. The song that I picked recently was Gymnopedie by Erik Satie. I don’t know why but I always feel more relaxed after I play. It’s kind of like meditation for me… haha Whenever I feel stressed out or need something to calm down, I just play and for that short time, I’m at peace. I think that music is something that should be a part of everyone’s life.
