What sort of things put you in a good mood or a bad one? I’ve found that I’m susceptible to music. Are you? Listening to upbeat, cheery music helps chase the blues. Whereas, down beat tunes, even the ones that are supposed to be comforting, do just the opposite. Church music, especially. Sad, mournful tunes, the ones usually heard at funerals, can sink me in the slough of despond (to borrow a phrase.) Sometimes, I can counter these feelings with thinking, playing (piano) or singing upbeat songs. And, sometimes not.
How about you? Are you swayed by what goes into your ears? Are you influenced by what comes out of someone’s mouth, their ideas or feelings? Just questions this morning as I ponder the complexities of life.
