It's a crazy world we live in. Seems we easily get bogged down with or stressed out about the many things we see going on around us or even in our own lives. Life presents to us so much to worry about or be sad about.
Unemployment. Cancer. Foreclosure. Rising gas prices. Wars. Divorce. Flat tire. Oil spill. Computer crashes. Floods. Death. A house that won't sell. An unmotivated employee. "Going Out of Business" sign. Bills. Drug abuse. Teens struggling to "find themselves." Disappearing savings accounts. Lost pet.
It would be great, wouldn't it, if at any given moment, the world around us broke into some impromptu song and dance, and, for just a few minutes. the troubles in each of our worlds disappeared?
Maybe it's time we all keep a song and dance in our heart -- remember and be grateful for the good that surrounds us.
Remember the sunshine, the opportunity to work, friends, children, laughter, your home, food, good health, a bed to sleep in, vacations, your faith, music, our pets, childhood memories, picking strawberries, bike rides in the country, grandparents, watching your garden grow, a kiss, freedom, and on and on.
Remember to sing and dance -- anytime, anywhere.
Wonderful post. Reminds me of the OLD advertisement, "I'd like to teach the world to sing, in perfect harmony....." Music is the universal language and feeds our soul. If we keep it in our heart, life can definately SING! Thanks for the uplifting reminder!
