Tuesday Tune

I need some positive music when I'm working out - especially when I'm doing my cardio!  Something that keeps up with my pace and keeps me positive.  This song has been on my repeat list and it doesn't hurt that it reminds me of good times dancing with friends!

Keep Moving, Moving, Moving!

"The great thing in this world is not so much where you stand, as in what direction you are moving."  [Oliver Wendell Holmes]

I just love these shots from Egypt - everyone in motion!

James and I are heading to the coast tomorrow for a friend's wedding and then spending Sunday with our dads, starting with breakfast in the Bay Area and ending the day with a barbeque back in town.  I hope everyone enjoys this weekend! 

Happy Friday!

Positivity

I've been missing my blog lately and I need a pick-me-up!  I am fortunate to say that there are only a few things that I'd change about my life if I had a magic wand... and while I have a wonderful life otherwise, sometimes those things creep in and cloud my vision!!  It's been one of those weeks.  So I've turned to something that can lift my spirits - my "Positive Sounds" compilation I made for myself awhile back.  I want to share the words!

1.  Go Your Own Way - Fleetwood Mac
"...Open up, everything's waiting for you, You can go your own way, go your own way..."

2.  Live For Today - Grass Roots
"Sha-la-la-la-la-la, live for today, and don't worry 'bout tomorrow... we were never meant to worry..."

3.  Make it Mine - Jason Mraz
"I don't wanna wait no more, no, I wanna celebrate the whole world, I'm gonna make it mine, because I'm following your joy..."

4.  You Can't Always Get What You Want - Rolling Stones
"No, you can't always get what you want... but if you try sometimes you just mind find, you get what you need..."

5.  Lost - Coldplay
"Just because I'm losing, doesn't mean I'm lost...just because I'm hurting, doesn't mean I'm hurt..."

6.  King of Anything - Sara Bareilles
"Who cares if you disagree?  You are not me, who made you king of anything?  So you dare tell me who to be?  Who died and made you king of anything?"

7.  Say - John Mayer
"...living out the same old moment, knowing you'd be better off instead, if you could only... say what you need to say..."

8.  Love is on Our Side - Frank Popp Ensemble
"...Love is on our side, when times get rough on this wild ride, remember love is on our side..."

9.  Stand by Me - Ben E. King
"...no, I won't be afraid, no, I won't be afraid, just as long as you stand, stand by me..."

10.  Fix You - Coldplay
"...but if you never try, you'll never know just what you're worth, lights will guide you home..."

11.  The Remedy - Jason Mraz
"...I won't, I won't worry my life away... you can turn off the sun, but I'm still going to shine, and I'll tell you why..."
