Good morning folks! Since I'm at the computer now, I figured I'd throw today's post up...instead of waiting until later and eventually putting it off. I know myself too well to not get it done now. ;)
So, anyway, about a year ago my other half "D" and our daughter "L" went for a family walk by the local lake. We looked at the scenery, the foliage, the flowers, the wildlife, etc... It was a very peaceful walk and provided the backdrop for many lovely photos.
We don't get to enjoy many family walks because of our hectic schedules, but when we do, I cherish every step. Each moment with each other warms my heart!
So, what do you say? Let's look at a few photos! :)
Here's a small panoramic of the lake with "L" and I in the right hand corner. It was definitely a beautiful day!
As you can see we are really enjoying ourselves. It's the little moments like this that make memories for a lifetime! I hope we are able to enjoy another family walk soon! I could use the relaxation! :)
As I've previously mentioned, I want to try to revive this blog... or at least revive my interest in writing this blog. And right now, I can think of no better way than to share a few of my favorite tunes from my past with you! Don't worry, you'll love this! ;)
So, let's get started!
This first song, I will never ever ever tire of. I remember hearing it for the first time while in 3rd grade... I was eight at that time. I remember we lived in a small red house on a red clay dirt road in Florida. We had a hammock in the yard. Life was simple then... ooops... sorry, I don't mean to trail off... back to the song!
I still enjoy this song just as much now as I did then. So, here it is:
Yeah, there is no doubt that this song is "da bomb"! Annie Lenox is amazing! 'Nuff said.
The next song that I'd like to share with you is one that I also still enjoy and have recently found it appealing all over again. So, without further adieu...
How can you not resist this fantastic song! :)
So, at this point, it must seem like I only like female band leads. Well, I do enjoy a good female voice for sure, but it's not a priority when choosing favorite songs. I do like bands lead by males too...so on that note, my next song choice will be a song that I grew up listening to. I'm willing to bet that my folks started playing this next song to me the moment I was born and very regularly from that point on! I remember twirlin' in our living room when I was maybe 3 years old to this next song. I swore it was written for me! I mean, it had to be, right?
I guess you can be the judge of that, but know that secretly I think this song is mine and mine only. ;)
HAHA! Caught you with that one, didn't I?
Anyway, I adore these songs. They will forever be memorable songs to me; ones I can turn to when I need a pick me up. And the best part is that each and every time I hear one of these songs, I instantly remember the very first time I ever heard these songs and I heart that!
I have a tendency to find a song (or two) online and instantly fall in love. And when I say, "fall in love", what I really mean is play the new song over and over and over until I can almost no longer stand the song! This act may actually go on for days...sometimes up to a week or more. It's crazy I know... shhhh. You don't have to say it!
SO, instead of talking about my obsessive qualities...let's just skip right to the songs that currently hold my interest!
The first being "Apologies" by Grace Potter and the Nocturnals. This song just moves my soul... so give it a listen, would ya...
The next song is "Someone Like You" by Adele. I've only just recently (within the last 3 days) discovered this song, so yes, it's on repeat right now! So, go ahead, click it to listen... ;)
Well? Did you listen? What do you think? Tell me a few of your favorite songs...I'd love to listen. Who knows, maybe I'll even find another song or two to obsess over! :)
I've managed to drop the ball on this blog for over a month now. I keep thinking about all you readers (or even just the few of you that might actually be reading... or maybe it's really just me that I'm writing for... oh well). I fell behind. I'm lacking drive and motivation and today, I'm not feeling that great. I'm working from home at a very slow pace. Well, maybe it's really a moderate pace.
Anyway, I have much to blog about... however, I just keep putting it off.
But not anymore...
Well, I mean, after today... no more lacking and slacking! I'm going to start scouring the internet for ideas...many of which I've already gathered and I'm going to spread the good around!
