Song For The Day: Paint You Wings by all Time Low

Listening to this on my way to work today.

Tells the story of writing your own story the way you want and erasing anything that is contrary to the picture you have planned for your life.

The most striking line for me was 'There's a monster standing where you should be, so i'll paint you wings and set you free'.

So take this as the message for the day, when you paint your picture don't be afraid to paint out anything or anyone standing in your way.

Be free.

Song of The Day - Alone Again, Naturally (Gilbert O'Sullivan)

Hmmmm,

Ever had one of those moments when the a song comes on and it just fits and you can identify with the emotions and inspiration behind it?

I was driving home over the weekend, driving from memory (not really concentrating) and lost in thought when it came on through the speakers and I understood and connected.

I can't really explain the emotions that coerced through me but it felt heavy and it has stayed with me ever  since.

Do Enjoy.

Song For The Day: G.R.L. - Ugly Heart

I know it's early but I could not resist.

Ever meet the perfect fine boy - The Mr. Perfect of your dreams - and he turns out to be a complete asshole and the biggest jerk of the millennium? If you haven't, then you're one of the lucky ones. But if you're like me and have met 'a few', then I think you would enjoy this.

This is dedicated to all the pretty boys with ugly hearts.

XOXO

Avoid Being Stuck

It's easy to lose hope and become despaired about the present realities. but if we persevere in faith and hope and believe that a brighter day lies ahead, slowly we can see the dawn breaking through the clouds ushering in a new beginning.

Don't Lose Hope.

DON'T TAKE YOURSELF TOO SERIOUSLY

Song Of The Day - The Party by Regina Spektor

There's something about this song, its a song I love to hate.I love it because the lyrics paint a visual image that I can connect with but I hate it because it reminds me of someone I would rather forget.

The opening line, 'You're like a party, somebody threw me. You taste like birthday, you look like New Year. You're like a big parade through town, you leave such a mess but you're so fun' reminds me of an old friend who embodies this mix of metaphors - Fun on the outside, but leaves a train wreck behind.

Hope you enjoy this Regina Spektor piece as much as I did.

The Trade Off

So there I was, seating in the restaurant with an array of amazing dishes set before me, staring into the gorgeous eyes of my latest crush and battling sleep - and it was only 9pm!!! He sounds so interesting but I keep losing his trail, OMG! What did he just say? I smile and cough to cover my embarrassment.
I'm totally ashamed.

Its not my fault, honestly. Ok, maybe a little. I should have known better. My body feels like a lump of lead - heavy and unattractive. Everywhere hurts - butt, thighs, eyes, back neck feet ... name any body part and I could describe in detail the level of pain signals its sending. If I were to be honest, it's the pain that is keeping me from nodding off and distracting me from my gorgeous intelligent gentleman.

If you haven't guessed it, I just switched trainers and my exercise routine. In a bid  to showoff my exercise prowess and prevent the fatty looks, I overdid things. That egotistical voice kept pushing me to do more than my skinny sassy companions; no room for pitying looks and sniggered encouragements. No sir, We ain't having that.

Everyone was checking out the Tyre flipping, Warrior 1, 2 & 3 splitting, Burpee Jumping badass fatty. At the time, the torture was worth it, but looking back now, as I see the gorgeous smile slowly disintergating  into a grimace, showing off for the ladies wasn't worth the loss of my first goodnight kiss of the year.

Who send me message. sob sob

Try Contentment

Savor The Coffee, Not The Cup

Life Is Like A Cup of Coffee - Inspirational Vide…: http://youtu.be/U3NgzQ9Pcsg

Contentment is not a word a hear often nor like to hear. But I dare say, it's a word that we need to hear and live a lot more of.

I admit it's easier said than done but imagine with me if you will,  I world where we are satisfied, content and happy with our lives and situations; where everyday isn't a struggle to outclass or outshine anyone. Where all you needed you had and all you didn't have didn't matter cos it wasn't important anyway.

I really wonder what sort of world that would be. I think we would all be a lot happier because nothing else would matter except the now and the prospect of  a better tomorrow.

*Deep sigh*, Contentment.
