Why Musical Monday Musings?

I've been trying to figure out what I can do with my life--it's been a challenge recently.  I've always loved to write and have felt impressed to write.  When I ponder what to write, the answer would come back:

"Write what you know."

Um, okay.  What do I know?  I "know" a few things.  I know about sorrow, depression, loss, anxiety, rejection, abandonment, anger.  But I didn't want to write about those things.  I'm trying to break free.  I used to want to write about a "great American love story".  I had the main characters, I had a general plot line.  But I didn't want to go there anymore.  Reality intruded.

Then last week as I was sitting in the Celestial Room of the Oquirrh Mountain Temple a thought clear as day came to me.

Several years ago, on my original blog, Sister Snoopy, I created a "Musical Monday" meme where I posted songs and LDS hymns that are important to me.   I love music.  I love to sing, listen, and even play music on the piano.  I "know" music.  Well, I mean, I have opinions about music.  I've had experiences with different songs and hymns.  I know how to write and I can share.

This (new) blog is the result of that thought. It is a culmination and continuation of that idea--only it will be specifically related to music--of all kinds that are important to me.  I intend to migrate the many entries I have from Sister Snoopy here and add new ones on a weekly basis.  I will keep the original ones in their place on the other blog as well.

I'm writing this more for me than anyone, though I do hope someone out there enjoys my offerings.
