MUSIC

What do you feel when you listen to your favourite music?

I think music is one the most amazing and wonderful experiences in the world. 

I've read a couple of times about a very interesting theory which refers to it as an excellent way to train and keep your brain healthy. It says when you listen to the music you like and you feel good about it, your brain not only enjoys, but also processes the information in an advanced form. That means it is like exercising maths or other kind of mental work, because it separates sounds into categories according to different parameters. For instance, frequency, speed, type of instrument, like or dislike level, etc. The most curious thing about this is that we even notice it. 

This theory also explains about how different is the brain reaction in order to our preferences and the type of music we listen to: classical music for example, requires more complicated skills to be mentally organised. This is due to the complexity and amount of musical instruments used to create such as an atmosphere. Yes. It's a fact. We imagine abstract thought and generate sensations at the time we listen. 

Every time you have the chance to create your own music, that fascinating phenomenon increase completely. Writing music is one of the best exercises as well as dancing. Playing musical instruments develops multiple abilities and; at the same time, dancing, is the most perfect gathering between mind and body.

So, now, how about pressing that "play" bottom?

A PHOTOGRAPH.

(150 words)

This photo was taken two years ago. Endy was my dearest cat. It's not with us anymore. He passed away last year in June. We are still so sad about this. It had a sudden kidney illness and doctors and us weren't able to do anything for him. We were devastated as it died.
Today I remember the good memories and moments we spent together, playing in the house, cuddling on the sofa or running with its stuffed dog for catching it. This photo was taken when it was about a year of age (7 years in cat's lives) He liked to purr so loud and move its paws asking for some pampering. We loved it so much. Here it is, on my bed, looking at me with its bright eyes
This photo is very important for me, because it's one of the most representative images I have from those playing times.
I remember, one day, efter its death, one of my students told me something I will never forget.
"Miss, you loved it so much and it had a wonderful life with you. Many other cats will never have a life like that in the world: You cuddled him, gave it good food, a good home, medical care and a lot of love"
And that is true. Indeed. So I'm not sad anymore, because as it is written in "The Little Prince", what makes friends so unique for us, is the time and love we dedicate to them.

MY FAVOURITE PLACE.

There is a place I love to visit. It's located downtown near an underground station.

It's a park. I love it because in that place I've spent a lot of wonderful moments with my friends. 

This park has some sculptures and many flowers and plants. In the summer the children play and run along  the soft green grass; and in the winter, you can walk around, enjoy your walking  and have some coffee after in one of the typical cafes around. There are about five or six cafes and all of them are so nice. I love the cold weather, so I take my boots, jacket and start enjoying in the rain or in the shade of the ancient buildings across the street. 

I'm not into flowers, so I don't know their scientific names or anything, anyway some of them, there in the park, smell so good and remind me of good memories. 

I would like to live near that amazing place, but it would be so expensive and noisy I guess. 

At the moment, I'll keep on visiting it and having some quiet time.
