Oh, this weekend I was overwhelmed with the battle between all of the things that I need (work) to do and the things that I want (rest, among other things) to do. They had something in common, they were all wearing me out. It is easy to slip into a mood when things are not flowing the way you would like. So, I put on some music. The question is, did I want that music to define my mood or redefine it?
Well, I didn’t do much planning. After moping through two of the songs on my playlist, Mary J Blige took over my speakers with Just Fine and I started to move and sway and dance and smile until the third time through the song. And it occurred to me that music shapes your atmosphere profoundly (we all knew this already, but do we use it like we should?). So, since I am in the middle of a transition in my life, I figure I better create a Keep Your Head Together Playlist, where the beats are tight and the words remind me of the dream. I encourage you to do the same, so that we can come over together.
First on my list is
Just Fine, song by Mary J Blige
Second is
Well, I’m still working on that and will keep you posted with updates. You be sure to create your own Keep Your Head Together playlist and feel free to share some of your songs here. We will build this list, even if we have to hunt down and write up the songs ourselves.
Just Keep Going . . .
