Good Morning Peeps!
Here in the Music City the ground is wet from last nights rain, but the air and temp is refreshing to my soul and calming to my mind! I have the windows open and I can hear and see the birds as they fly to and from the bird sanctuary. Between that and the taste of my perfectly brewed cup of Hazel nut coffee....I am completely in my element. There is a calmness that takes over as I type each letter into my keyboard trying to bring to life whatever is in my mind.
Yesterday was a shocking day to the world about Prince departing from this life. I for one was in disbelief, but when the confirmations came pouring in....the reality became real. It saddens me to know that there will be no more music to be created by him....but on the same hand I believe that he left behind some of most talented works that will continue reach the ears of each generation. So...in a sense he will always still be here. That comforts my heart.
Last night it was mentioned to me that we should celebrate more of the living as much as the loss. I agree. If we were to take that very same energy and put it towards the ones we care about, or even towards nature and all it's wild life. The happiness and self reassurance of knowing that you gave everything you could to celebrate the living moment would have a bigger impact on the heart than the loss. Still....it's human nature to mourn after the loss of a life. Especially if that life was someone close to your own heart. By nature we go through the steps of grief to find closure in our own way. Everybody is different. The important thing is to take that loss and find all the wonderful memories that would shine a light on the memories we will carry with us for our own lifetime. Every time that persons light shines in your mind....a smile or chuckle will soon to follow.
Quite frankly..... I am not a perfect person and will never claim to be....but I can say this one thing beyond certainty. I absolutely Love Life......I love the way nature comes to life in the morning....the way it moves through the day, and when in the evening it winds down to a calmness and brings us to night. I love the interactions with so many Peeps I have met or are still meeting along the way. I love my music, my babies, my girl, my family........ and I love that God has been so good to give me this Life full of a lot of light and love. Opportunities that are countless. and I am blessed beyond what I deserve, but still so grateful. I celebrate my silver Linings this morning and Peeps..... there a lot of them.
Have an awesome Friday Peeps and I will catch you on the flipside!
