I could not imagine having my very own wind chime. I could not explain the reason my Papaw decided that I should own a wind chime. As a child I thought, yeah, wonderful, he gave me a wind chime. Gee thanks so much. But, as I pulled it out of the box that my Papaw carefully wrapped the wind chime in, the sound was beyond anything that my young ears had ever heard.
This magical moment of sound was forever embedded into my sub-conscious. I have often thought back to that moment, looking up at that wind chime and hearing for the first time the most beautiful music that can only be described as "Heavenly". A quick glance up at my Papaw's eyes, glistening with tears, and I new something special had happened to change my life forever.
That Heavenly wind chime profoundly affected me. For some strange reason it gave me a new sense of well being. I felt totally safe and at peace when it chimed. I think my Papaw knew that home was not a safe place for me. In his own way, I believe he was giving me some of his strength that I could carry with me, to fall upon for courage when times were trying. All I know with certainty is that Heavenly wind chime many a time helped me though troubled times of not knowing where to go or how to get there. When confused, lonely, afraid, or just needing a lift, all I had to do was listen to my heavenly wind chime from my Papaw.
Years passed and I learned a great deal of useful things from my Papaw. We planted rows and rows of tomatoes, each having to be hand watered from fifty gallon barrels, set on top a wooden skid pulled by a worn out tractor, filled with water that had to be hand pumped from a nearby water well. We made weekly trips to the chicken house to ring the necks of roosters. We would place a huge black iron kettle on the burning embers to bring the water to boil, while we waited for the blood to drain from the throats of the chickens. The smell of the feather's being burnt off the chickens is still in my nostrils. Then we were off to the house to finish cleaning and packing the chicken's to place in the freezer.
The hogs were loud as we threw the corn cobs and scrapes from the supper table into their troughs. We sprinkled lime on the plies of new potatoes in the potato bend. Together, with ever a keen eye, my Papaw and I hoed acres of purple hull peas and butter beans.
I dragged behind me a toe sack that stretched a good four feet be hide me, down a row of crowder peas that seemed to never end.
These were a few of the things I learned from my Papaw, hard work lends to a good nights sleep, always pop that blister, wood rats are huge, gofers don't belong in the garden, opossums hiss and have sharp teeth, hogs are nasty, nothing beats fried chicken, purple hull peas, cornbread, mashed potatoes and gravy, served with slices of tomatoes, green onions, and iced tea.

How to Reduce the Stress in Your Morning Schedule with Musical Wind Chime Therapy
At early dawn, just before the daybreak, I am awakened by the gently sound of music. Soft resonating sounds that immediately fill my mind, body, and spirit with a sense of well-being. A corner of my mouth turns upwards, and then spreads across bringing a smile to my face, I am at peace. It's funny how we humans respond to music. How the sounds we hear from the world we live in profoundly impact our spirits. That seemingly magical sound that hangs just outside my bedroom window, oh how it calms my soul. Nowhere on Earth can one find serenity like this. The musical sound echoes across the early morning providing peace for all creatures. The birds begin to chirp, the “hum” of the hummingbirds as they gather around the feeders, butterflies dance across flowers to the rhythm of the wind chime. The wind chime in all its simplicity brings about all this. Do you long for peace and harmony in your life? You to can feel a sense of well-being.
Wind chimes come in such an array of different sizes and styles, one might question, how do I choose just the right one. Like people, each wind chime has its own personality. One only has to listen to the sound to choose. The one wind chime that has that magical resonating sound that is soothing and tranquil only to the ears of the listener. That wind chime becomes your haven to escape from the world of noise to a place of inner peace, joy and happiness.
Wind chimes have been known to create a calming effect for centuries. They date back to ancient civilizations. Some folks often refer to them as magical. They claim to have heard their loved ones that have since passed, speaking to them through the sound of the wind chime as the wind blows.
Are you tired of waking up to the buzzing, blazing sound of your alarm? Or the blast of racket that comes from the radio? Change the noise in your life to that of beautiful peaceful music. All that is needed is the wonderful sound of a wind chime, to bring about a change in your hectic mornings.
How do I accomplish this task, you ask? Well, let me share with you how I have brought peace back into my mornings. While the wind chimes on my porch are perfect for awakening, they cannot be heard sufficiently while I am getting ready for the day. So, I installed my favorite wind chime in front of my bathroom window. Below, on the cabinet I placed a very small fan and directed it toward my wind chime, I turn the fan on and my wind chime serenade begins. While I'm getting ready for my day, I am calm and relaxed as the wind chime plays it's music.
You to can incorporate this simple exercise into your morning schedule to start your day off with a feeling of well-being.
