I have been really busy lately and sadly when that happens I lose all focus on my blog. I’ve been trying to think of a way I could start posting but keep it to something brief and easy for me to keep up with. I was reading my old posts looking for some inspiration and it hit me – why not post about what makes me happy? Sometimes all it takes is a picture, a few sentences, or a video to get my point across, so from now on in order to keep up the pace, I’m going to start adding these kinds of posts to my blog.
What better way to kick off my first official “what makes me happy” category, then my beloved Stephen Kellogg & The Sixers. If I had to rank what brings a smile to my face, SK6ERS would be at the very top of that list, so it’s very fitting that they come first. The best way for me to convey the joy they bring to me is to share with you my favorite song. Ladies and gents, I give you “Days” – my favorite song OF ALL TIME (just check the play count on my iPod for proof).
If you listen to the lyrics and you know me, it makes sense in an instant. If you don’t know me, then form an opinion on what I am like based on what you read and see below; I will be completely fine with that. From my own description, this song represents everything that I strive to be – happy, hopeful, confident, positive and fun – I hope my self reflection is accurate.
Many thanks to diversdevotion79 for posting this on You Tube – if you ever stumble across this post I hope you don’t mind that I’m sharing your video. I was at this show and I would have loved to record it, but I was too busy screaming and jumping up and down like a lunatic. That’s what happens when you mix me, The Rock Boat, a Bon Jovi intro and SK6ERS singing “Days”. Actually, it just happens anytime I see them live – I am a perfect example of “dance like no one is watching” when I’m at a SK6ERS show. They make me happy and I’m not afraid to show it.
A day like today just feels so good,
Everything going as it should
The mystery is understood
Just like my momma said that it would
So act the way you dream you could
And dream the way an actor would
*You relieve the clouds of rain,
You remind me that they’ll be other days
And it goes without saying, if you should catch me praying
It’s for days just like this one today
Pick me up at 12:15 when the sun is riding high
Wear your old jean shorts for me, the ones that you cut just above the thigh
You know I’ve always loved you, so don’t make me tell you why
When you let me do my thing, I’m a different guy
Let’s break it down to a level I can understand,
You be the woman and I will be your man
When you’re feeling it, you just know where you stand
And I walk with my head held high when I can
Not everyday’s so easy and they’re tough to plan
When the good day comes, you’ve got to do as the good day demands
Yay for happiness blogs! Try it a couple of days in a row (or even just once a week) and you will be SHOCKED at how good you feel all the time
You are so right – I’m going to try and get in a better habit of doing it at least once a week! Your blog is definitely a source of inspiration as well!
Agreed – I can practically see the smile from this post!
