The Comfort of Memories
| Guest post by: Linda Sage |
Article Overview: Abraham, Martin and John...mmmmmm as the sounds of this song drift out of my computer (my techno skills are improving!!) and sink into my head, I am transported back many years to a dingy room (not that I thought that then), at the back of a pub, my introduction to discos, then I had to be home when everybody else was coming out, I lived in the middle of nowhere (so I thought) and the last bus went at 10pm. Can you imagine saying that to a youngster today!!!!

The Comfort of Memories
Abraham, Martin and John...mmmmmm as the sounds of this song drift out of my computer (my techno skills are improving!!) and sink into my head, I am transported back many years to a dingy room (not that I thought that then), at the back of a pub, my introduction to discos, then I had to be home when everybody else was coming out, I lived in the middle of nowhere (so I thought) and the last bus went at 10pm. Can you imagine saying that to a youngster today!!!!
Music is a very potent tool for memory, happy and sad we can often pin point where we were and who we were with, when we hear a piece of music or a song. It is really hard to imagine life without music and song, live music and shows are a very good way to lift your spirits at any time. We are lucky here on the coast to be able to hear live music almost everyday if we choose to. There are many bars and restaurants that offer a wide variety and also the local theatres and choirs. You don't even have to be good at singing to enjoy it, my car is my haven, as there nobody can listen or complain!!!! But it makes the journey pass very quickly.
How easy it seems to open your mouth and let the sound come out, but we have all been in Karaoke bars when some people who think that they sound like Frank Sinatra but in truth are more like Kermit!!!! not make the best of the tune (not that I am one to cast the first stone!!!) There is a lot to be said for having a go.......or maybe knowing your limits??????????? Watching the X Factor really makes you realize that some people are deluded!!! But it is fun to watch......
The lyrics can be as beautiful as poetry and as weird and wonderful as the mind of the writer, maybe in the 60s and 70s depending on what they had been smoking or popping!!! But the songs are still well loved and many people are now copying them. Music can be an inspiration and there is nothing better than bopping about the lounge singing your lungs out, to the amazement of the younger generation!! hehe especially when they have friends in.....this is called payback time!!!
Billy Ocean, Supremes, Rod Stewart crank it up and a liberal serving of Elvis and Cher can earn you the house to yourself for quite a while, mission accomplished and time to enjoy it all the more.
During my time on the Costa Blanca, I have been known to frequent some bars and really enjoy the local entertainment, there is a lot to be said for a night with Eddie Wallace, or Greg, or Richardo , and Woody´s speciality is serenading me up and down the AP7 (mind you there wives do know about this!!!!) but they have all provided many nights of entertainment and enjoyment (albeit totally in public on the dance floor!!) not just for me but for many people and long may it last I say!!
Having music in our lives is a wonderful thing and very often we take wonderful things for granted, until they are gone then we miss them. So, we need to take stock and make the most of all the wonderful singers and entertainers that we have around us and make the most of the music that they give us to brighten our lives..........any excuse for a night out!!!!!!!

Re: your personality type?
- Hi Michelle!
If you are the present-moment focused, this is your result. If it doesn't seem spot on, I'll give you the big-picture focused result.
The Enjoyer of Life. You enthusiastically enjoy experiencing the five senses, creative pursuits and social harmony in the here-and-now. You are independent, socially upbeat, and enjoy creating a positive and happy atmosphere. Despite your outgoing “persona,” you are a private person and few people truly know you well). #1 Strength:
Comfort Creator #2 Strength: Expressing Social Feeling
1) Comfort Creator -- Creating a comfortable physical environment. Feels the ?ve senses vividly. Adept at using objects, or ?nding or building objects, to make a physical space the most soothing to all ?ve senses. Also organizing so objects are easily found in a convenient way. Both the physical comfort of self, and others, is important. Often feel a need to ensure those close to them are warm enough, fed, rested, etc. Will easily offer help to others in these areas, lending a jacket, or offering a snack.
2) Expressing Social Feeling Setting an emotional tone, vibrant, energetic, or serious, etc. Concerned with the emotional environment as it?s happening -- the vibe of people at a party, the tone of a situation, other people?s responses. Setting the tone -- dramatic and serious, or lighthearted and a celebration. Emotional displays are important for knowing how others are feeling, whether bad or good. Someone talking in a monotone about feelings seems insincere. Feels should be shown, so they can be read by others.
Your best type would be:
The Conceptualizer. You are an inventive creator of logical systems of possibilities that you use to create processes,
products or strategies. Socially, you are sometimes quiet, but also find yourself acting as the life of the party,
especially when you get caught up in a debate or entertaining topic of conversation. #1 Strength: Generating
Future Possibilities #2 Strength: Systematic/Rule Logic
