Our 35th anniversary, last Monday, was worse than I thought it would be. Nothing like a rainy day to enhance the atmosphere of a pity party. I was still struggling to shed the despair on Tuesday. I find it amazing how deeply I can dig myself into a hole. Not only was I grieving over the loss of my husband, I was reviewing my list of slights and careless words from the last few years . . . like I was deciding who was naughty or nice.
I ended up taking a very active roll in changing my mood. I’ve been getting into music therapy. Not the kind with the education and the degrees. But the kind that gets you to . . .
Move it. Move it. Move it.
Or, share words of inspiration, like from Roger Miller
You can’t roller skate in a buffalo herd
You can’t roller skate in a buffalo herd
You can’t roller skate in a buffalo herd
But you can be happy if you’ve a mind to
So, you can join me in the joy of the music, the links:

Pink (aka P!nk). You’d love her music. Avoid the newest album (Funhouse) though and go for her other ones. Funhouse was done after she and her husband split up for a year or so. It has some sappy-ish songs about love gone wrong kinda stuff. Excellent music but not what you need right now.

I grew up listening to Roger Miller on an 8-track player. I love his stuff!
