I believe in the good things coming

Music is so powerful and I just received a message from one of my besties (yes, it is possible to have many besties) and she’s not ok today. I suggested she has a listen to Nahko And Medicine for the People’s song Black as Night. This is the song that I sing when I am feeling down. It’s super catchy and it lifts my spirits…I believe in the good things coming, coming, coming…I’ve always got time to surrender to your beauty, beauty, beauty…

I read my own meaning into many of the lines…You got the keys…to me means that I have the key to the secret of my existence and I am in control of my life and the beauty that I bring into my life…so many lines in this song sing to my heart and I am super thankful to my son and daughter-in-law for introducing Nahko to me.

Music is the best, so therapeutic. Instead of putting the idiot box on when I get home I put music on…again thanks to my son who has connected me to his Spotify account. My son thanks for for so many things and in return I am forever grateful for him being in my life.

Dancing around the house while I do my chores is sooooo much better than having my head filled with the crap that they pump out on the TV. I’m not going down a conspiracy agenda hole here, it’s just that I really do not need my head filled with who was murdered, what terrible accident, natural disaster or third world famine. This might be an ignorant selfish view point, but it’s one that is in my DNA. Mum used to say, “if it’s not effecting me directly I rather not know about it”. As a teenager I was like “Mum, really…” and now I agree with her. Funny how life shifts and twists as we age and get some kind of wisdom under our belt (notice how I said some kind of wisdom; not everyone likes my point of view and that’s none of my business). I’m certainly not a teenager anymore and mentally I moved on from that mindset decades ago. Some people I know are stuck in that teenage thought pattern, anger, resentment, jealousy, envy and all that stuff. My personal development work has pushed me beyond living in fear and allowing those old thoughts run my life. So music instead of the TV it is for me and it’s interesting how I feel so much better within myself now that I don’t have that stuff filling my head with fear.

I sit here in my studio while it rains down on the tin roof and I feel blessed that my friend tells me she’s having a dark day. I know she will pick herself up, she just has a few things to process. Dark days mean there’s a light day to come, we just have to get through the dark day. I hope Nahko can lift her spirit today.
