Firing Up The Year

Yes, I know it’s already February.
I just feel like I’m starting up, in some ways…
I was on the first of the monthly Zoom calls tonight for an online school I’ve been a part of for a few years.
The glass-fronted cabinet is sorted and catalogued (more or less), something I’ve been putting off for a while.
A lot of things feel like they’re crystallising into reality. As opposed to a good thought/just in my head.

Well – I’m off to a good start!
Just have to keep going…

I’m not sure I have a coherent thread for this post to progress into, really, so here’s a Taylor Swift video I just saw.

I think it’s a love song.

Sifting through a variety of boxes and bags from the cabinet has reminded me just how many rocks (and shells) I’ve picked up over the years.
No cactuses, though πŸ™‚

I do have a happy rainbow mushroom (and friends).

A mouse and an axolotl.

And Eeyore looks after my books.

February is over a third of the way through.
I’ve got stuff to be getting on with!

But it’s been a good start.

Come On – Get Happy!

Chase all your cares away!
I’ve been on a quest for “happy” songs, which has lead me around YouTube, and found not just the feel good, dancey, not too much thinking needed songs… I’ve enjoyed a bit of Fred Astaire and Ginger Rogers, and gone back to the 70s for classic rock.

Not exactly theΒ most feel-good lyrics, but makes me want to dance.
It’s the bagpipes…

I’ve been reminded of the importance of standing up for what’s right, even if it starts with little things.

I’ve experienced again one of those moments where a beautiful voice, a connection with others, a memory and an iconic event combine to form magic.

The happy songs? I’m sure there are many, but I’ve only included a random selection.
An obvious choice if you feel like you need to walk on sunshine!

Or need to remember every little thing will be alright.

Just shake it off…

…and make your own kind of music!

Just say yes πŸ™‚
