It's a big world grab a handful!
Recently 2 more young lives were lost to suicide, the sadness that grips my heart cannot be expressed. I wish peace for them and I wish for other young adults to understand youth is a gift.
Good Life – One Republic
“Woke up in
London yesterday
Found myself in the city near Piccadilly
Don't really know how I got here
I got some pictures on my phone”
Found myself in the city near Piccadilly
Don't really know how I got here

Can’t
help but smile when I hear this song. What a celebration of youth and all the
adventures youth holds. Makes me wish I was younger, I won’t lie. Takes me back
to my own adventures. There were definitely good times to be had by all that
were willing to participate.
“Sometimes
there's airplanes I can' t jump out
Sometimes there's bullshit that don't work now
We all got our stories, but please tell me
What there is to complain about?”
Sometimes there's bullshit that don't work now
We all got our stories, but please tell me
What there is to complain about?”
I
see all the sadness that the world holds today and the craziness – school
shootings, teenage suicide, homeless students, bullies. We had all those things
when I grew up they were not common like today. I sometimes feel today’s
teenagers do not get how carefree this time in their life can be, having
someone to financially support you, free to explore and be a bit irresponsible.
Everything is taken way to serious – why? Is it societal pressure? Is it the
fast pace life has adopted – why are we are always in a hurry to move to the next
level? Is it we are too connected and can’t have a moment of anonymity? Or do
we roll all those things up and create the perfect storm?
“When you're happy like a fool, let it take you over
When everything is out you gotta take it in
When everything is out you gotta take it in
Oh, this has gotta be the good life
This has gotta be the good life
This could really be a good life, good life”
This has gotta be the good life
This could really be a good life, good life”
I have told my own kids go out have
an adventure, make mistakes, learn how you want to define yourself. It’s a
great big world and so many things to experience, why not grab a handful? Why
take in all the sadness, let it roll off your shoulders and decide for yourself
what your day, your week, your year will look like!
“Hopelessly
I feel like there might be something that I'll miss
Hopelessly
I feel like the window closes oh so quick”
I feel like there might be something that I'll miss
Hopelessly
I feel like the window closes oh so quick”
Grab it all while you can!!!

Breakfast At Tiffany’s
“We got nothing in common, no
common ground to start from………….”
Too often we forget that we all
share the human condition. We seek out our differences and forget to embrace
the things we share. What I love about this song is it reminds us to look for
what we have in common. Finding common ground is a way for us to build or
re-build a relationship. Relationships don’t always have to be friendship,
romantic or working; they can be simply, mutual recognition and respect.
“And I said, What about breakfast
at Tiffany’s? She said “I think I remember the film. And as I recall, I think,
we both kinda liked it ….”
Is it easier to find differences
and harder to find common ground? What would it take to create a movement to
inspire people to look for common ground? It brings to mind a sculpture garden
in Chicago at Grant Park, the artist created two sets of people facing each
other. Each pair consists of a light sculpture and a darker version they mirror
each other, sharing an emotion. I believe the artist wants us to contemplate
the possibility that we all have common ground. What’s on the outside is just
that, our outside. Inside we are all the same.
“And I said well that’s one thing
we got.”
Find common ground and see where
it takes you.
