Things I find Beautiful #18 & 19

You know what I find beautiful? (theres two in here somewhere)
Those moments when I smile to myself and think, "that's awesome." Sometimes, I'm probably way off, other times, I know I'm right on. Today was a huge day for me. Quite frankly, I was a mess. As the day drew on, things were okay, and my emotions lessened, I decided shopping was in order. (I swear my dear if you shake your head or chuckle to yourself, you're not gonna be a very happy man!!! hahaha jk)

I was looking at the racks at the local Winners, beside this lady, who, no word of a lie, had the most serious look on her face. Its probably how I looked for most of the day. I saw myself in her somehow..

Anyway, the song on the radio changed, and she started by a little toe tap, and then a little hip wiggle, a smile on her face, and then the chorus came and the poor woman started singing to herself until she remembered I was right beside her and looked horribly embarrassed.

I swear to god, I had the biggest smile on my face, and not because I found her amusing, but that i LOVE the fact that music has the ability to completely transform people. This woman, did not look like she was having a good day, at all, and this song, completely struck a chord in her and brought her to some place happy, if only for the length of the song, it amazes me, and delights me that music has the ability to do this.

This particular song always makes me wrinkle up my nose, and giggle a bit, but doesn't have any significance to me personally. However, I definitely have those songs... many many of them.


So, the two beautiful things in here can be either, Music and its ability to make people happy and my ability to see the small things and get great joy out of them, OR.. Music and its ability to make people happy, and shopping. take your pick. :P

And, for good measure, here is the song this lady was groovin to in Winners:
