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. 

New Song, New Seasons

I sold my house today.
I have 30 days to finish packing up 1/3 of everything I own and 
get it into a truck and drive it to Florida.

1/3 because I have too much stuff.
1/3 because I desperately need to downsize.

I'm excited
and nervous
and sad to leave
my people and my places
both of which have held me in this soup that has been my life.
I'm looking forward to the new
mornings,
places to go, 
family to see more than every couple of months.
people to meet,
life.

In the process of weeding out the 'keep' items
I found a slew of music I haven't listened to since 2009.
Imagine it, songs that played while I played outside
songs we listed to on the way to each other
songs that reminded me of strength and love and sparkles
songs that helped me be one with my broken heart.

They all make me smile and realize how much I've grown.

Funny to feel I've lived long enough to have my own seasons of life.

This next one is Summer, I think.
