I love music. Love it. However, I cannot read a single note of music or tell you who composed what symphony I may be listening to on the classical music channel. I've performed in musicals and danced in drill team or dance recitals, but could not tell you what a C-note sounds like. Despite this, I still love to sing and dance. I've joked with Matt that anyone scrolling through my music would probably get a real laugh. I have everything from Christian music, musicals, rap, hip hop, classical, and the list goes on... Ainsley has been exposed to all kinds of music since before birth. After her birth, I would plug my iPod (now Zune player) into the docking station and dance around the living room with her in my arms or in the Baby Bjorn. She would get the biggest grin and later giggles. It is no wonder my daughter now sings songs about any and everything she sees, hears, or wants. She is also a pretty cool little dancer. I love it!
So, having said all of this, it is surprising to me that I've avoided music when having the most difficulty with adoption anxiety. Yes, some songs make me feel sad. I still to this day cannot listen to Steven Curtis Chapman's "Cinderella." But, all in all, music makes me feel good. So, I've made a new promise to myself - Anytime I am feeling anxious about the adoption, I will turn on music, dance, and sing. I mean really, why not?
