Waking up to Simple Gifts

Snowbuds ~ chrissy
Music is the perfect way to start the morning.
A song or piece helps set the mood for the day - whether clam, energetic, mellow, upbeat, motivating, anything!
The other morning I awoke to a recording of Aaron Copland's Appalachian Spring from the Seattle Music Orchestra (1997).  Uplifting melodies and harmony, the chirping of birds - like waking up in a forest, not my dorm room, thoughts of nature filling my head as I lay there a while longer.  Although classes had not started yet, I had somewhere to be - the building excitement of the piece helped urge me out of bed and prepare for the day.  And what a day it turned out to be!
