Just Another Day...and Happy Thanksgiving!

Are you the type of person who loves to write, but cannot write anything without music playing in the background?  Or, are you that type who prefers quiet environment for you to be able to write something?

I am the type who loves having music on while writing.  For some reason, it helps me come up with different ideas when I don't have anything in mind to write about, and it keeps me wanting to write more.  There may be times when I prefer a quiet surrounding, but that's rare.  It's only when I really am not in the mood and I have to write something.

I love listening to pop, love songs, Christian songs, and right now, of course since it's almost Christmas, I listen to Christmas songs all the time.  I always have it playing on Pandora radio every time I'm on the computer.  There's just something about listening music while writing.  It keeps me relaxed and motivated at the same time.  And, I love having to feel that way especially when my brain is too drained from having a long day.

Right now, I'm listening to the song After All by Peter Cetera and Cher.  By the way, I used this song as the music background for the video I made as my anniversary gift for my husband.  I love the message of the song, and it's been one of my favorites!  I actually was too worried that I won't have anything for my husband for our anniversary because I haven't made any video with photos before.  And it took me days to finish it! I tried a couple times using the windows movie maker, but I failed.  I just couldn't figure out how to do it.  But, thanks to my new-found online friends, they suggested a website where I can make the photo slideshow with music, and it worked!  I had to pay to be able to download the entire video, but everything was so worth it!  With that website, it only took me about 3 hours to get everything done.  (Well, I had to go through our photos from the very beginning, and I picked the ones I wanted to use.  Plus, I had to edit the entire thing three times because at first, I didn't have enough photos to last till the end of the song.  And when I added some photos, I ended up having more than what I needed.  After that, I had to edit the caption again because I deleted and added photos.)

Anyway, I'm happy with the result!  My husband loved it, and that's all that matters!  It wasn't something extravagant, but knowing I made it with so much love, he said, it was more than enough.

And before I forget, HAPPY THANKSGIVING EVERYONE!
