Music That Makes Me Happy

Listening to my favorite tunes while walking

Music can give you confidence, inspiration, solace, and peace. Music can make you happy. Today is Sunday, and I just got back from a walk. I feel happier now than when I left the house, and I wasn't even sad when I left! Usually I listen to podcasts when I walk, but today it felt like a music day.

I have Spotify and like to save songs into a couple different groups: Peppy songs, Liked songs, and Cocktail Party Music are a couple groupings. The first couple songs that came up this morning on Liked made me feel uplifted and I knew I wanted to come home and share them with you.

Here are the songs I listened to in order of play:

• Weightless by Marconi Union

• Look Up by Joy Oladokun

• Love Like This by Ben Rector

• Buy Dirt by Jordan Davis, Luke Bryan

• The Luckiest by Ben Folds

• Fall Into Me by Forest Blakk

• Bad For Me by Meghan Trainor, Teddy Swimms

• Friends in Low Places by Brooks Jefferson

• Red Solo Cup by Toby Keith

Listening to this short set of songs helped me to center myself, reflect on what is good and bad, remember I am loved and love others. Finally, it made me feel like singing out loud (which I did!).

If you are looking for a little inspiration or happiness today, why not look up these songs and see how they make you feel? If you feel inspired, let me know your thoughts.
