September 25th of 2016 is coming to a close and this is my last day of freedom for a long while. It is this moment in my life that I choose to start again. It’s been so long that most of 2016 has come and went at this point. Crazy how fast the year can go by. The good news is that I have really been doing things instead of writing. As important as writing is to me I made a conscious decision going into this year that I was going to go out into the world with more gusto than I have had over the last few years. I planned on doing things that I love to do that make me, me. On top of that I made an effort to try some new things as well in efforts to shake things up and explore new doorways with new possibilities. This effort was most predominantly shown during my summer break from school. So many of the entries that come after this entry will most likely come from that period of the year. So on that note lets get started!
There is so much music I have heard both new and old since the year began that I want to share with my readers. This collection of music has been swirling around in my head for too long so it’s time to get some of it out of my head and into my blog. The song that I picked for this week is from a band that is definitely in heavy rotation during the fall months for myself especially. There is something about this band's warm and heartfelt music that makes my autumns lovely. I usually pick their song called “Winter’s Song” as my song to usher in the season of fall. This time I’m going with a song that is much more up beat and gives me a boost of inspiration. Now who doesn’t want to get inspired right?
This week’s song is called “Turn It Around” by The Head and The Heart. This song is from their newest album called Signs Of Light that came out earlier this month. I spent much time previewing the album before I bought it, but the song "Turn It Around" really made me buy the album. It is just one of those songs that fits right into where I am right now. It also has that vibe to help me move forward in the positive direction I have been. I have played this song many times since I got it and as loud as I can when I do. If you have ever felt like you have gone too far in the wrong direction please don’t ever give up. Let’s turn it around.
Lyrics:
"Turn It Around"
Stand proud, stand strong
And allow the love and help that comes along
You know the richest man didn't build his house alone
The greatest lessons I learned, I learned right here at home
You know the feeling I'm talking about
Every woman and man without a doubt
You're down but not out
You can turn it around, turn it around
There's nobody blocking your way, taking you down
And if you think that you're lost, you can follow the bridges you've crossed
And then you'll be found
Stand proud, stand strong
And allow the love and help that comes along
You know without your love the light divides alone
Lessons I learned right here at home
You know the feeling I'm talking about
Every woman and man without a doubt
You're down but not out
You can turn it around, turn it around
There's nobody blocking your way, taking you down
And if you think that you're lost, you can follow the bridges you've crossed
And then you'll be found
You know the feeling I'm talking about
Every woman and man's been down and out
But you can turn it around
You can turn it around
You can turn it around
You can turn it around
Yeah you can turn it around, turn it around
There's nobody blocking your way, taking you down
And if you think that you're lost, you can follow the bridges you've crossed
And if you think that you have lost all the version of feeling you saw
Just turn it around
You can turn it around
You can turn it around
You can turn it around
I think the words of the song say it all and so I felt no need to interject my own commentary into the lyrics for it all means so much to me currently. I myself have made much progress from the many set backs of late, but I still need to keep pushing forward. So join me and stand all, stand proud as we turn it all around.
Summer technically ended few days ago, but today is truly my last day of summer before I start up school again tomorrow. And oh what a summer day it was. I truly couldn't have asked for a better summer day. I spent it in the company of one of my best friends and his family. There was even a walk at dusk with my best friend and his youngest son that I won't soon forget. Life is a a crazy thing sometimes both with it's ups and downs.
As always I bring this to you with much love and pure D-lite. Take good care of yourselves. =)
