It’s been a while since I’ve dusted off this ol’ keyboard and shared the latest happenings with life and music. For a few months, I had this idea for a song, but didn’t really have the time set aside to really work through it… but today, I was given the gift of several hours of free time!! As most parents know, sometimes it’s overwhelming to figure out how to use uninterrupted time.. clean.. nap.. relax.. so much to do, and you don’t want to spend the whole time figuring it out! I spent part of the time just relaxing with my husband, because we only get that after everyone FINALLY goes to bed. After an hour or so, I decided to work on some music.
This idea came to me a while ago. My nana passed away this year, and I have her gold 7 day bracelets that I wear, along with one of her coffee cups. I have a few things from my grandmother (maternal), her 70’s (yellow) Tupperware containers and the glass jar she kept oreos in (which is exactly how I use it)! I love having this pieces from them, and the daily reminders and memories they bring to mind!
I am still working on this song, but wanted to share this snippet. I think we all hold a few pieces from loved ones. They bring happiness to everyday moments. Whether I’m running up the stairs and hear the jingle from the bracelets, or making dinner/baked goods that require flour and/or sugar from the Tupperware canisters, I’m constantly reminded of two of the women that have helped shape the person I am today.
