How do you feel about music – could you take it or leave it, or are you passionate about it? Recently I was in a Senior Citizens’ Complex doing a bit of karaoke and singalong. It was amazing to watch people’s reactions. It wasn’t long before they began to smile and join in. Good memories and a good refrain helped lift their spirits – and quickly too. Also in a hotel over Christmas and New Year, I noticed the same thing. People who came feeling a bit jaded, went away smiling.

This is not just a plug for stations like Uplift Radio, but have you considered the impact music could have on you in the daily grind? Play it, sing along with it. Be known as ‘the person with the smile’.
