Harmonize

Sharing music with friends and loved ones is a great pick me up. From exchanging mixed tapes and burning cds for one another, the gift of music is timeless. I am always excited anytime a friend burns me a CD. Whether the songs have special meaning, have great lyrics, or are just fun to dance to, there are few things that can beat sharing great music with a friend or loved one. There are so many ways to share music now. If you hear a great song on the radio and it reminds you of someone, text or call them to tell them about it. Or send them a link to the youtube music video of the song. And of course you can't ever go wrong with burning a CD of your favorite tunes and giving it to someone special.

As I get older, my world gets bigger and I now have friends all over the world. Sometimes I will send a cd in the mail, or e-mail them the name and artist of my new favorite song. But I have found an even better way to share music with loved ones who are far away, or even ones who are close by. Check out www.projectplaylist.com . You download songs to your profile, and you can access those songs anywhere that has internet. It is really fun, and easy, to make a "joint" project playlist with friends. One person has to make the account, and then share the username and password. Make the ultimate playlist with your friends and loved ones. "Harmonize" your music tastes.It is a really great way to share music, and to feel close even if you are far away. Here I am having way too much fun listening to music from my boyfriend.


Making a playlist with a friend or loved one, and having that music to listen to, is an easy way put a smile on your face.


And That's Your Daily Good Thing!

Reconnect

Reconnect with an old friend. With the technology these days, facebook, twitter, cell phones, e-mail, it is easy to do. Think of someone that you have grown apart from, and that you would like to be back in touch with. Take a few minutes and send a thought felt facebook message or e-mail, or even muster up the courage to give that person a phone call. Maybe it is your best friend from middle school, or your lab partner in chemistry, or that friend that you used to go camping with. Whoever it is, reach out and see how they are doing, let them know what you are up to, and that you miss having them in your life. Not only will this totally make someone's day, you will feel good for making the effort. Maybe they will become a great pen pal, or you'll arrange to see each other more. Or maybe you will message a few times, reminiscence, and drift apart again. Either way, it is definitely worth a little time.
Here is a picture of me with one of my childhood best friends and neighbors. We got back into contact last year and she ended up visiting me in Hong Kong. We had a blast, and are still in contact. Since it is almost Halloween this seemed like an appropriate picture.

So take a little time and reconnect with an old friend. You'll be happy you did. And that's your daily good thing!
