A Really Terrific Song

One life, live free, big dreams - we're all about 'em.

I truly believe music has a huge effect on our lives.  It can define a moment, change a mood, and alter our perceptions better than maybe anything else on this planet.  My best friend sent me this music video a while back and told me, "Watch it, it will make you happy."  And boy was she right, it did make me happy.  So happy I teared up a bit.  The song is entitled "You & I" and is by Crystal Fighters, who are reminiscent of Dispatch but with a slightly electronic twist.  So go ahead and watch this video (it's odd and a bit sad, but ultimately lovely) and allow your Thursday to be made a little brighter.

Back at Home

After an absolutely amazing weekend in Nashville, it's taken me a whole week to get feeling back to normal - and in all honesty, I'm not quite sure I'm there yet (I'm blaming it on the moonshine.)  As reality slowly resurfaces, I am having a hard time wrapping my head around the fact that it's August.  Not just August, mid-August.  Can someone please tell me where time goes?   Wherever it's off to, it's in a hurry to get there.    With this realization of just how fleeting moments really are, it has made me appreciate the small stuff.  Below are some things I'm either wishing I could indulge in or am going to make a point to experience before summer is over.
