Week Thirty Seven Wednesday’s Grateful List 

Today I am grateful for music.


This morning a watched on ABC a program on Catalyst called Music On the Brain. It is an episode that reveals how personalized playlists can reawaken the brains of people with dementia.  I don’t have dementia but it did get me thinking about the benefits of music.

Here is a list of how music benefits our health.

  • It improves visual and verbal skills
  • Keeps an aging brain happier.
  • Makes you happier.
  • Music improves vascular health such as heartbeat, pulse rate and blood pressure.
  • It improves sleep quality
  • Boosts your immune system and reduces pain.
  • Reduces depression and anxiety

    Maureen was singing to me at 4.30 this morning. Is there a better way to start your day?
