Dear Journal -
Last night I got home and was feeling so horribly sick, that I went to the pharmacy to get myself some cold medicine. After, when I finally arrived, I got onto Netflix with the intention of watching a movie called Amadeus which is about the extraordinary man Mozart. I have been wanting to see that movie ever since I took my music class and began to appreciate classical music even more than I did before taking the class. Sometimes when my mind is going a thousand miles per hour or I feel overwhelmed, I like to play classical music and close my eyes and pretend that I live in my favorite era, which is the Renaissance. I love watching movies from those time periods, I think I was there once.
Anyway, I never made it past the second scene last night because I passed out. I slept for about 12 hours or so, but still feel like crap. After making my daughter something to eat, I was going through my FB newsfeed and I saw something that my good friend from Costa Rica posted. When I read it, I felt that I had to just put it on my blog, because I found it beautiful!
So here it is.....
Please enjoy one of my favorite Beethoven pieces -
Moonlight Sonata by: Ludwig Van Beethoven

What an astonishing thing a book is. It's a flat object made from a tree with flexible parts on which are imprinted lots of funny dark squiggles. But one glance at it and you're inside the mind of another person, maybe somebody dead for thousands of years. Across the millennia, an author is speaking clearly and silently inside your head, directly at you. Writing is perhaps the GREATEST of human inventions, binding together people who never knew each other, citizens of distant epochs. Books break the shackles of time. A book is proof that humans are capable of working magic.
This was originally written by --- Carl Sagan - Author, Astronomer among many other things
