Music and Joy

Music is like medicine
   It can help you start the day.
   Come on get movin,
   Breath in and out,
   Listen to your favourite song,
   Have a dance, sing and shout.
   Raise your arms in the air,
   Wriggle those hips
   And cheer!
   Have a dance around the room,
   Let's have fun,
   Shake off all the gloom.   
   Have a fantastic day!!

Hi Jeanette, It's good advise. What is it that people say? "If you don't use it, you lose it" I think. I personally find music so therapeutic. When I used to work with adults with special needs we did a lot of percussions to a good beat. too much fun..Nancy

Music and dance can shake us out of our dullness and lethargy ! Music is proverbial for its therapeutic effect ! When one spins on his toe, the world joins you in rhythmic steps. A small, sweet poem, so very inspirational, Jeanette....
