Watch this video...you'll smile

In the spirit of yesterday's post, "Lift me up, Lord..."

Nothing like a good hug :) I'm going to try and give some extra hugs everyday.  That's my kind of soul medicine.

Hey Dave! I'm back!

Could it be possible? Is there really nothing left in my inbox to type? Whew!

Here's a lovely song from Dave Matthews. It's nice to have a slower pace today. I'm coming by to see you all very soon :) Hope you enjoy this one too.

Daily Dose of Dave

"Mom, are you listening to Dave Matthews again?"

"Mom, I don't get this guy."

"Mom, what are you obsessed or something?"

I think my son is going to have an intervention for me soon :) Maybe I'm a little partial to Dave's music. Watch this video. There is something wonderful here, don't you think?

I've Got The Music In Me

It's great to have The Beatles help me as I clean up the toy explosion in my sons' room.

Sorting the laundry with Mick Jagger may become a regular thing for me.

I can get used to a serenade from Sting while rinsing my dishes.

After months of waiting and hinting, I am happy to report that I have my own MP3 player (the new Sony Walkman). You all know how much I love my music. It's such a treat for me to have the chance to escape with my music as I go about my day. My oldest son showed me all the features of my new gadget. Funny that I have a gadget. Usually hubby is the master of those button happy things :)

As many of you predicted, I'm hooked now. Even making the bed is a musical experience for me. I have to hide it from Jillian sometimes. She doesn't want me listening to music when I should be playing dolls with her. She can be a tough task master when she's in play mode :)

I still have a ton of songs to download from my HUGE CD collection. I have four albums on the player right now. I'm a big Dave Matthews Band fan, so my favorite song to play over and over is "Crush".

As I build up my musical library, I'm curious to know what are some of your favorites. Is there one or two songs that you could listen to over and over again? I would love to know your recommendations. Are you surprised to hear that my son's play list doesn't have any choices for me? However, my son did want a Rolling Stones' song or two from me :) Who's the cool one now? I can see my son's smirk at that comment.

Thanks for sharing your songs with me. I'm excited to hear what "music is in you" :)

Where you are is where I belong

Love Dave Matthews. His lyrics are poetic in so many ways. As I was riding home from church this morning, my mind was caught up in all this "bully drama". The words in this song seemed to be speaking for me as I tried to wrestle with my feelings about trying to take care of my kids in this sometimes tough world.

As Dave says, I am no Superman (Superwoman), I am no hero, but I will be there for my kids always. I did find peace during church, but it's funny how this song gave me additional comfort on the drive home. Maybe God knew that I needed a hug through this touching song.
