What a slacker, I had tons of time to blog when I was a stay at home. These days I do well to check my e-mail! Life is GOOOOD these days. A job I love, a new apartment and the boys have grown so fast! I am more in love each day with the most amazing man ever....and Blue October just released their latest album! What more could I ask for?!
There have been ups and downs in the last year, including an inpatient stay at my local friendly psych ward...but it was much needed and well worth it. Getting back on track with a therapist has helped me stay grounded again. Thanks Miss Jane! My Daddy finally got his angel wings and flew home June 14th. I feel a bit lost with both parents now gone. But they are both where we all belong <3
All that seems to consume my mind today is the new Blue October CD Sway. My autographed copy is on it's way, but I have a digital copy on my office computer. Guess what...the office is empty today except for ME! Guess what I have blaring \! I am just now getting the feel of the songs I didn't already know (early release singles). A new album for me is kind of like swimming in the ocean, there's eagerness, cold toes, getting used to it, then diving under the waves into the magic... The anticipation is amazing, but as a writer myself, I have to get a feel for the lyrics before I absorb the music. Sometimes my least favorite ends up being an absolute favorite. I can remember the first time I heard X Amount of Words, honestly I didn't care for it, now I sing it all the time, scream along at concerts and it is my go to song when things get slippery.
Missy and I had the honor of hearing Not Broken Any More on the Open Book tour (Nashville, TN - yes we actually drove that far!) as Justin explained it's heartfelt meaning and played us an acoustic version. --I will write about that show soon, I could write 100,00 words about it -- Anyway, this song reminds me so much of the love I have found. Every single word is the story of Us. This is my current fave...ok yes I have sooo many faves it's crazy. Check it out for yourself!
Not Broken Anymore - Justin Furstenfeld
Did I mention we had meet and greet tickets?? More on that later.
The other topic weighing heavy on my mind today is just as overwhelming but much less wonderful. Syria...we are the verge of WW3 as I see it. My children have yet to live in "Peace Times", I fear they never will. I could fill another post about this, but I am trying to put it out of my mind. It makes my heart literally ache for all the innocent people, families, children will be wiped from the face of this beautiful Earth for the sake of a few evil people.
More to come later...I'm gonna liven this blog up!
