What's important.....

I was talking to one of my best friends the other day about this person I talk to frequently. I told her we have nothing in common except a sport, she asked me about music and i told her that this person and i don't even have that in common. My best friend asked me if that was really important.... and today i realized it is and very much so.

My extended family was over tonight, my nephew was asking me questions about music and sure enough he said out loud he wanted to play the saxophone. my dad comes in and says did you know your auntie gail plays the saxophone?? and all of a sudden he whips out my sax and the family tells me to play. My nephew then continued to ask about other instruments like the piano and the guitar... a bunch of instruments that my sisters and i play and we just kept showing him all the instruments. My nephew is 7 years old and he asked about Mozart. I was like WHOA... a 7 year old knows about Mozart!?!?

i was definitely floored with the interest in music my nephew had. It made me realized that almost everyone in my family plays some instrument and enjoys music in some sense and anyone who comes into my life i figured also has to have the same passion. As much as volleyball is a passion in my life, music is also up there and if a person does not show the same passion it's a little iffy.

tonight was a huge eye opener for me. kinda help me see what i want in life not necessarily in what i want in a relationship or what not, just in general. I want four main things in my life for me to be happy: family/friends, my faith, music and volleyball. As long as i have those 4 things not matter where i am or who i'm with I'll be happy.

until next post.
