Just dance....
I spent some time with the tiniest of my granddaughters the last couple of days. Their parents had to attend funeral services for a dear family member. When the two and 1/2 year old looked at me in fright as her parents departed I knew I needed to take immediate action.
"Alexa - play kids music!"
Instantly her face lit up, arms reached for me and we twirled and swayed to "Baby Shark" (you poor parents who have to listen to that on repeat all day!!) followed by several more songs. By the fifth one I had to admit "Grandmom's tired" and put her down. But the music played on, she continued to smile and sway as did her 10 month old sister.
Music can lift our moods, bring us back in time and just make the day better.
So crank up those radios, record players, Apple devices or Alexa.
It's sure to bring smiles all around.
(Certainly beats listening to the news!)
