I feel close to the Blues today. It was just the right cadence to my measure.
I think music really needs to meet us where we are at. If I'm sad, I don't want to listen to happy music. If I'm not dancing, I don't want to listen to dance music. If I'm not eating enchiladas, I don't want to listen to a mariachi band (j/k, kinda.)
It's not that I haven't had enjoyable blues moments before now but today for the first time I could finally FEEL that blues music.
Perhaps it was because today was not an exactly easy day and I could easily continue to sing you my "Sick Baby Blues", but I won't. Instead I'll tell you some really great things to do while listening the blues:
1. Make Beef and Barley Soup in the Crockpot. Dance around while doing the dishes. No, I mean really dance around as if you were THAT girl in the hazy smoke-filled blues bar.
2. Play Farkle (a dice game) with your husband on your big dining room table while taunting each other, drinking a homemade italian soda and sharing a carmel apple. The rhythm has a perfect "shake, shake" that's great for dicing (and taunting).
That is all.
