A Year Ago: 'I was not aware until recently.  I did not know this music existed and I am sad for the time I missed and simultaneously glad for being here now. I'm not going to provide details of this band.  If you are interested please go ahead and search for that information yourself.  If you care, it may bring a smile.   I love the music I have heard from this band so far. Literally, everything makes me smile and feel an uplifted kind f joy that I do not feel often with just music.  Normally there has to be some sort of memory already attached to a song but this album I've been listening to today is phenomenal.  'right out tha gate.' DECIDE. Such a great word.  Yes, there are innumerable possibilities in this world.  Possibilities of the life you could live, the path you could take to lead you, hopefully, to heights of success and happiness you can't even imagine.  But, the thing is, you have to decide.  You can't let yourself sit there and think so much. 

This is the Before

Funny how a scene in a movie can take you out of yourself.  I was just thinking that I have the sweetest brother.  He made collages one Christmas full of family photos, memories of all the wonderful moments we have been lucky enough to live.  Mine reminds me to stop and be.  I think of our parents when I look at this framed life reel.  Ours were the best parents anyone could ever have and the fact that I got a life with them is epic.
You know how, in movies, the hero has a moment where the mentos tells them they have to find the strength?  The camera turns back to the hero and the look in her eye changes.  Sometimes she immediately turns to the 'thing', without hesitation, and takes the next step. This is the Before.
