Singing along..

As you may have noticed I added 'My Playlist' to my blog. Several of you...my fellow bloggers.. have playlists on yours and I love to hear your selections of music. As a matter of fact, I have stolen some of your songs. Thanks, by the way.
Some of the songs I have chosen have some sentimental value to them, like Boston's 'More than a Feeling' Steve and I listened to on our first date and he thought I was cute/crazy for totally getting into it and playing the air guitar to it. How could we not include "Aubrey" by Bread? Come on!! And I think "Why Georgia" is pretty self-explanatory.
Other songs I just love the beat and want to dance to it or excersize to it. If you know how much I love to dance and excersize (a fact that my figure does not reflect) - almost as much as I love to play the air guitar - you would understand. I'll have to add some more of those.
I have also added my favorite artist category. I just plain love Chris Daughtry and Josh Groban. And Steve's new addiction is Dean Martin. He listens to his best of all time album ALL THE TIME! It kind of cracks me up. I would have never pegged him for a rat packer back then when we were rocking out to Boston and Depeche in his GMC Jimmy. Oh, those were the days.
Then there are other songs that as soon as I heard it the song moved me. Those are the songs that inspired me to add the playlist to my blog. It was the song 'Lucky' by Jason Mraz that really pushed me into adding it to my blog because I do feel lucky to be in love with my best friend. Steve and I love to be together. We laugh over crazy people he meets at work and debate plot lines in movies. We discuss gospel doctrine, watch Jeopardy together ('cause we are nerds). We pull our hair out about the kids and sometimes we fight. But I always feel lucky.
The other song in this category for me is 'Small Wonders' by Rob Thomas. The kids always tease me when that song comes on because it makes me cry. I realized after I looked up the lyrics that they don't say what I thought they said, but the song always says the same thing to me..."our lives are made in these small hours...these little wonders still remain" It reminds me that eventhough my life is hectic and crazy right now that the little things, the everyday things are forming their lives. And Rachel, don't forget, they are small wonders! They really are!! I hate to lose sight of that sometimes but that song always reminds me how wonderful and what a blessing my children are. Remember to cherish every moment!
So sing along and enjoy... you know I will be!
