Amazing Grace – Just the black notes.
Did you know of the pentatonic scale (5 notes) and the history of Amazing Grace?
I knew of the scale and the lyricist but not of the piano black keys as the basic notes of Negro spirituals. Enjoy, this is so BEAUTIFUL, and gives me chills!!
When ringing in the New Year, we usually hear people speak of their New Years Resolutions!! These resolutions in my experience’s usually include many of the various components that they probably did or tried the year before, and did not succeed.
I really don’t understand why people make New Years Resolutions when they can’t concummate them. Why say it? Just don’t say anything, because you have tried to lose weight for three years now and every year your new years resolution is to get on a weight loss program. Well you still weigh the same and I don’t see you loosing any in the near future!! Just don’t say that that is your new years resolution.
You’ve tried to quit smoking, well do it. Take whatever protocol that you need, to obtain those goals.
This to me is as bad as a new mother that says that she just can’t breastfeed. That is hurts and that she has given up on the miracle that was provided for her to offer nourishment for her child.
Of course it hurts to breastfeed your child for the first time, you’ve never done it before, the baby doesn’t know how to suck, it takes practice. It probably hurt the first time that you had sex as well, but you got over it and learned to like it, love it in fact, well this is the same philosophy, like my daughter would say, practice makes perfect!!
Back to News Years Resolutions, what are some of your past new years resolutions? Was it a resolutions that you could follow through on? Have you ever had to make a comittment on a resolution that you could not achieve?
I can’t ever really say that I have made a resolution. I know that I hope beyond belief that 2010 will be a way better year than 2009. I hope for it, I long for it actually. I can only dream that what is waiting for me is inconceivably better than what experiences that I endured in this current year.
Hi there,
My name is Lynn, I’ve always wanted to blog and have had anxiety on giving it a try. I feel as though I won’t know what to say; and that it won’t be worth your time reading it. I have enough experience in my life right now to give you just a tidbit of information and laughs along the way. In turn I hope that I will meet some great people and get your feedback and views on the issues and struggles that we all come into contact with. I am a very opinionated woman and I am excited to receive other opinions whether we agree or not.
The reason for the title Dear Diary is quite simply that I have always wrote in a diary and thinking about it….who are we really writing to? Who do we want to see it, well this is the same concept, except 2009 style. This is kind of going along with the technology of things. Let’s bring it to the internet………let’s take the ride together.
