Monday Music Magic: "Alive"

When I am feeling most low, like I was yesterday, and trying to raise my spirits by reminding myself that I have my health, a job, a roof over my head, and the love of my family, music usually soothes my savage emotional beasts. This is a song I listen to that helps ease my mood, brings back my "feisty", and makes me feel alive again...

(tho we didn't climb the gate... we ain't stalker fans)...

Oh, definitely! I always belt it out with him when this song comes on! Good choice.
I posted my choice on David's blog. Duh. As you may recall, I was a bit slow "getting it" with my first FIAF, too. I have to get myself to bed. I'll fix it tomorrow.

music can be so healing, so energizing, give you release and relief .. glad you found something to get you out of the low spot, cara! *big tight hugs & lots of cuddles, just in case you can still use 'em*

OMG ... I was feeling miserably pitiful yesterday too.

I posted the following message on FB:

Some days I have no ambition at all. I’m second judging my schooling, my job, and my life goals. Have you ever have one of them days when you feel like, ‘what’s the use’? It’s like there is this wave of depression that is trying to move inside me. I can’t let it. I won’t let it steal my joy. It is on days like today that I need to trust that God is guiding me. I must trust that He is working on me, with me, and in me … and that He has something better in store for me.

“He says, “Be still, and know that I am God…”
Psalms 46:10

So I am …

And then I felt better ... hope you are too! *hugs*
