What a wonderful experience to get to live in another country....my college roommate spent many years in Germany and loved it...it left a lasting imprint on her as a woman. You will go through many changes in your lifetime. It's wonderful that you have already started writing so that you will have a record to reflect back on. Thanks for visiting.

Hi Krisles,
Yes, music can take us back to a different season of our life. When I hear certain songs the feelings I had then surface. I was pregnant for my first born when the song, "Your having my baby," came out, and when I hear it, it takes me back to standing in front of an old jutebox, dropping change into the slot, with my left hand placed lovingly on my large stomach. Memories can be wonderful. Have a great day, Krisles.

I know how that is...
Listening to music and bringing yourself back to who you were once upon a time. Seasons do that to me, too. I got married six years ago, and left behind all of what defined me to live in Germany. I'm a different person now, but I miss the woman I was before. It's a recurrent battle to reconcile the two with the woman I hope to become. Good insight you've made.

That's such a wonderful thing to say to me.....thank you! And it means the world coming from you. You will make a wonderful attorney....believe me; I worked with great ones all the way to pit ones....when I sat at the table with a great one it made me feel so good to be on that side of the table...so proud to be on that side....a very noble profession when done nobly....which, even though you cheat at trivia in bars, I know you will do.

Thank you. I imagine you have memories from Loose Park yourself. The apartment building is on Wyandotte, down from Walnut Towers, so they called the row of buildings the "Peanuts"....I heard lots of music there and in Volker...

The similarities between us always amaze me, but one thing is certain...if I turn out to be half of the woman I think you are I'll have lived a full life. And I know what you mean about the struggle between earth child and corporate powerhouse. That's an interesting conflict, isn't it? Massage therapist to lawyer....lol.

Krisles, thanks for your comment to my post. I think you and me might travel well together because I could lead but you would enjoy all that you saw.
I enjoyed the stream of consciousness style of this post and could relate to the revisiting of past versions of yourself. When I made this recent visit to Paris I lost myself (between my companion's chattering) in the old versions of myself and how I spent my days (and nights) many years ago

I've read your music memories and knew you would relate. I brought this stack up the other day and have been having an orgy of memories. I'm posting because I slept 10hrs!!!! I need to read while I am rested and get caught up....but I'm so full of memories from all this dang music......read?write?read?write?....dang!dang!dang! Also....have you taken any online writing courses? I think you know I just started writing two months ago and I have done zero investigation into trying to sell anything...I don't even know where to start looking....any suggestions?

i know what you mean... music will bring out me from another time in life, (i may only be 29 but i feel like i have too many decades of life to count) and it will bring out who i was then... its interesting to experience. emotional.... i debate about which me i like more, but in the end i am glad that i have evolved to this self....
so glad to see you posting today!
