Music Diaries

Music is one of the few things that we all have in common. We all know the hit song playing on the radio as much as the stranger standing next to us. Whether you like it or not is a matter of opinion, but it's listened to. It's heard. Some people claim they can be whisked back in time just by hearing a song from a point in their life. A little time capsule sealed in song.

I think that all wonder women should keep a music diary. It's relatively easy, especially in this day in age. All you have to do is turn into the radio, listen, chart, and playlist. I myself have four running music diaries. Each one has a special significance. One is for songs that have special meaning for things happening in my life, listed chronologically. Another is just popular songs from the calendar year. Another is just free music I somehow came upon. Yours can be anything you like. I've even heard of music diaries going so far as being autobiographies, each song a symbol of each point in a person's life.

Imagine when you're 98 years old, and able to travel back to younger days just by a playlist? You can remember the good old days, and even share with your grandkids what a cool cat you were. You have the music to prove it. Suddenly saying "I was into them before they got popular" can be proven. "See, it's on the 2008 playlist. They didn't make it till 2009, 2010 easy."

Music has power, soul, and beauty. What better way to identify your life?
