Day 3 - 87 -- Music Therapy

 The Easter Bunny brought sunshine for us. Furry friend had much to sleep in out in the kitchen. The temperature was above freezing and a fair amount of the snow from last week melted during the day. There are still a couple storms in the offing so more snow may arrive, but it won't last long at this point in the season. The warming of the ground will soon bring spring blooms. The naturalized crocus, snow drops and periwinkles in the front lawn are enjoyed each year, followed by tulips and magnolias. Spring can be muddy, so wearing cream coloured pants might be best left for a later date when things dry up. Several chores were dealt with today helping me to be prepared for the next week with updated lectures, clean clothes and a grocery list.  Today seemed to be the first day without a mid-afternoon body temperature increase -- a good sign -- still have a ways to go but the virus has  begun the exit game.

Music entered the day with a musical film and iPod tunes. It did help to keep the mood more positive. As I pondered the day, a great song came to mind that fits so much of what I'm feeling and how I'm trying to move through all that comes along with grief. Many covers of this song have been made by singers from several genres. I've chosen to go with the original today, though there are some great choices out there. Enjoy!
