Welcome to My Revolution...

So one of my resolutions for the new year is to blog/journal a little
more. The fact that I discovered a much quicker way to do it certainly
helps this goal.
And holy cow I'm already a day behind! But, hey, it was a holiday...
right?

I have come to love a particular Christmas song by Shedaisy... Brand
New Year. And the fact that last year was so rough really makes me
even more adamant about claiming the lyrics of this song. So I just
have to share... if you've never heard the song go take a listen. It's
an upbeat song that really has the power to motivate.

BRAND NEW YEAR by Shedaisy

Learning to turn the outside inside out (inside outside inside out)
Having the courage to find what life is all about
Loving so purely can surely melt a frozen heart
Knowing sometimes all over's
The perfect place to start

Chorus:
Welcome to my revolution
Lucky you, lucky me
The way we were meant to be
This is my one resolution and I make it with no fear
To live, to love today
'Cause it's a brand new year

Seeing the world through rose-colored eyes
Yeah, this is my one big chance and I'm gonna take it twice
With the past down below, I know love lifted me up here
So I'll take a breath, kiss the sky, toll the bell
'Cause it's a brand new year

Bridge:
Resiliently reclaiming me
Refining my recovery
Untwist my fate, unlock the gate
Let's make a little noise
'Cause it's a brand new year
Oh, welcome to my revolution

Second Chorus:
Welcome to my revolution, baby, yeah
Lucky you, lucky me
The way we were meant to be
This is my one resolution and I make it with no fear
It's never been so clear
Second chance is what got me here
To live, to love today
'Cause it's a brand new year

In addition to the sharing this song I also decided to journal a
personal element. I could say that I plan to journal daily, but... oh
boy, hate to make that commitment. I have a random stack of questions
that I plan to just pull from the hat. Today's question:

When you are down what do you do to feel better?

Typically I will either watch a movie or listen to specific music. It
depends what path to recovery I'm wanting to take. Do I just want to
wallow for a time or move on? I can be honest... sometimes I just want
to stay in my down mood... work it out... get through it. I'm not a
"jump in to a good mood" kind of gal. I have to work through the
thoughts and emotions. Now sometimes I can recognize that I'm in a
downright pathetic mood and will purposely work to get myself out of
it. This is where music usually comes in. My newest theme song is
"Happy" by Natasha Bedingfield. LOVE LOVE LOVE this song and I want to
share it with everyone I know!! But I also l like to watch movies to
help me escape reality for a short time and help me "reset".

Until next time...
