Worth it after all

I previously talked about how difficult it was to put together an all-oldies water fitness playlist, and I will say that starting out this morning, it was a little bit difficult to match my first song's beat. But after all that, I was really glad I did it. The reactions from the crowd were completely off the charts, and one woman even came up to say the music completely changed her outlook for the day and she was ready to take her Monday on.

It was good for me, too. I included one of the songs mainly because it's my favorite by the band, but I associate it deeply with the worst period in my life. Giving a large group of people joy using that song was an intense and rewarding experience, and I'm looking forward to hearing it a couple more times this week.

I'm definitely going to work more '50s and '60s stuff in than I have been, the rewards are worth the effort.
