Life Through Music: “Sunshine on My Shoulder”

The song that I chose for this week is by the one and only John Denver called "Sunshine on My Shoulder". I found it very fitting to explain how yesterday made me feel with that wonderful burst of sunshine. 



Wow. I mean really what a wonderful day in February we had yesterday. Well, I’m speaking for all of my friends here in the Pacific Northwest that is. It really was just a perfect day full of sunshine that was so good for my soul. Looking out the window this morning you would never have know that we even had such a beautiful day yesterday. It’s coming though people I swear it. I can feel spring in my bones. To help speed up the process though earlier this week I bought an early birthday present for myself. What I bought for myself was plane tickets to Arizona to see my cousin Jason in March during spring break. Last year I went to visit him in February. It was only in the Mid 60’s while I was there, but the sun shined everyday and it was awesome. I don’t need sunshine every day, but some good solid amounts of sunshine during these dark dreary days in winter help me. Sunshine helps me hold the light until the world starts anew in what we know as spring. I hope everyone that lives in the NW got a chance to take a moment and soak it in. I cannot speak for the rest of the world, but here in the Portland metro area it was a little slice of heaven. I even wore shorts to work to celebrate the sunshine. I have been having some rough patches in my life as I continue to work through things. Yesterday was a wonderful break from all of that hard emotional stuff that I have been sorting through and with some “Sunshine on My Shoulders” it really helped cap off a week of some serious healing. Thank you universe. I hope you all are doing well and making your spring/summer plans because before you know it will be upon us. 

Sunshine on my shoulders makes me happy 
Sunshine in my eyes can make me cry 
Sunshine on the water looks so lovely 
Sunshine almost always makes me high 

If I had a day that I could give you 
I'd give to you a day just like today 
If I had a song that I could sing for you 
I'd sing a song to make you feel this way 

Sunshine on my shoulders makes me happy 
Sunshine in my eyes can make me cry 
Sunshine on the water looks so lovely 
Sunshine almost always makes me high 

If I had a tale that I could tell you 
I'd tell a tale sure to make you smile 
If I had a wish that I could wish for you 
I'd make a wish for sunshine all the while 

Sunshine on my shoulders makes me happy 
Sunshine in my eyes can make me cry 
Sunshine on the water looks so lovely 
Sunshine almost always makes me high 
Sunshine almost all the time makes me high 
Sunshine almost always

If I had a day to give you or a wish to make it would definitely be full of sunshine. Be well and take care of yourself. LOVE.
