I See You Smiling, so Peaceful and Calm: beholding You, I'm Smiling too
Never doubt the power of happy music.
I've spent all day feeling agitated and anxious for no explicable reason. I did a decent measure of my required schoolwork, made dinner, and did everything I always do, but I just felt upset. I began writing to myself to try to work through it, but it only made me more upset to realize that I didn't have any reason to be upset which I could correct. Finally the Me-that's-actually-Me said to me, "what in the world, why does it even matter? Get over it and move on!" So I whacked myself on the side of the head, put on some happy music and read through my notebook of happy things. I've been wanting to post things on Facebook, but that's no way to say what I mean, so I wanted to post some quotes here instead.
"You've seen the years roll on, and you've seen me roll with you
I see the road is long, so get on my side, there's a whole lot of walking to do
And if we stay on our feet, we'll make it in our own time
And though the road has got some steep climbs, I believe we'll be fine"
(Walking to Do, Ted Leo and the Pharmacists)
"Oh and there’s always something, or somebody right behind
Well we’re not meant to be everything, we’re just a piece so spread your wings..."
(Weight of the World, Chantal Kreviazuk)
"I'm in the race but I've already won
And getting there can be half the fun
So don't stop me 'till I'm good and done,
Don't you try to rain on my perfect day."
(Perfect Day, Hoku)
"You can't stop my happiness, 'cause I like the way I am."
(You Can't Stop the Beat, Hairspray)
"`Cause I know, yes I know, that it will be you that I am dreaming of
`Cause I heard the stars say that they know your name and my name
and they say it`s love."
(They Say It's Love (Stars), Cindy Morgan)
"Well here I come and I'm so not scared: got my pedal to the medal and my hands in the air..."
(Real Gone, Sheryl Crow)
"... wild geese that fly with the moon on their wings- these are a few of my favorite things..."
(My Favorite Things, Sound of Music)
"I believe in the rest of the story, I believe there's still ink in the pen
Someday all that's crazy, all that's unexplained will fall into place
And someday all that's hazy through a clouded glass will be clear at last
And sometimes we're just waiting for someday"
(Someday, Nichole Nordeman)
I'm still not quite back to normal, but I'm definitely in better spirits than I was before. Never underestimate the power of happy music. =)
Also, as an aside to the reader:
My recent entries have tended more to low-cast updates than anything else, and for that I apologize. More interesting entries are to come, but I wanted to say this while I had it to say.
One final quote:
"Five hundred twenty-five thousand six hundred minutes
How do you measure a year? How About Love? Seasons of Love."
(Seasons of Love, Rent)
