theme.

I've been listening to theme songs all night; movie theme songs like Gone With The Wind, Forrest Gump and  TV Show theme songs like TMNT and 7th Heaven.  This odd choice in music began as I searched for songs to fill a "Name That Tune" CD for a mission trip beginning Saturday.  As I googled "best theme songs"  and asked my mom for ideas, though, I realized just how much these simple songs mean to me. 

I remember singing the Full House theme song with my best friend in middle school as we watched episodes on Saturday morning.  What about all those times my sister and I danced to "My Heart Will Go On" from Titanic, or the afternoons I spent watching Pokemon with my brother?  And of course, all the theme songs from the movies my parents showed us:  Star Wars, Indiana Jones, and the Pink Panther.  Even today, I try to remember exactly how the Brady Bunch theme song goes so I can sing it to Brooks.  There are also the theme songs that belong to my generation, like Harry Potter.  And Disney is a class all on its own.

Music is such a beautiful gift.  Even those songs that we think don't really matter define countless moments in our lives.  A laugh, a cry, a prayer, a wish, an argument...all can be held in a song. 

What will my theme song be?
