I had a completely different song picked out for this week, and I thought it was a really great one, and then this morning I decided to go back and visit one of my all-time favorite Music Snacks. So yes, this week is the first ever [Repeat], but I hope you enjoy it still.
There’s two main reasons, other than this song rocks, that I went for the repeat. Both equally and very important, and maybe even more so since they happened nearly one right after the other.
Reason 1: This song came on my play list Monday morning when I was out doing my power walk. I’m not sure what came over me, but the next thing I knew, I was in full sprint through my neighborhood. For the entire song. It felt amazing. (Yes, I was quite out of breath but it was a pretty awesome moment, like Rocky throwing his fists in the air after making it to the top of the art museum steps, kind of moment.)
Reason 2: I’ve been going through a few personal ups & downs lately and, finally, verbally exploded all my worries, etc., on a friend last night during happy hour. Of course I momentarily felt worse for the word vomit now covering the floor beneath our seats, but sometimes …. you just need to get it all out of your head …. and be reminded of all the joys surrounding you …. of all those soon to come ….. and to just truly laugh …. because if the Dog Days aren’t over just yet, they will be. Soon.
So sit back [or get ready to jump around] and bask in the gloriousness that is:
