We all need a song that gets us to get up on the mornings that it is rough. Or get through the morning routine. Or block out the time to think on the way to work. We need a song...a mantra...that gives us strength when we are weak. Gives us fire when we are weary. Mine has been this one. When I feel the whines start to bubble up within or the doom start to overshadow the sunshine I play it. When I am exhausted from running around with all of my jobs, responsibilities and roles I play it. When I am frustrated with the road that I am traveling I give the journey a little music. As I sit there on the precipice of a breakdown I turn it up as loud as my speakers and ears can stand. I sing. I remember. I move through it all and come out on the other end of the few minutes that have passed a better person. Stronger. It renews my energy source as well as my faith. My faith that this will all turn out alright somehow. That I will be so amazing because of all that I am learning. I stand taller...feel bigger...smile brighter. Sometimes it takes one play. Other times it is on repeat. Repeat. Repeat. Each time a focus on another challenge. Each time making me a little bit stronger.
