Because of some recent events in my life, coupled with a Women’s Servant Group Devo & a Nooma video (Sunday), I decided last night as I lay in bed praying, that I was going to start today off with a new attitude. I would henceforth have a bright & sunny disposition. God has filled my life with so much love, mercy & other blessings, that those same things would just pour out of me every day. I don’t want to mumble & grumble when my life is so blessed!

Then I woke up today with a cold that has gotten even worse, it’s cold & rainy outside, and I am alone. (Dwight is on a fishing trip.) It is hard not to be crabby, but I don’t want to be like that anymore. I will fight the negativity. I am determined that I can do this with God’s help. I don’t want to be fake happy, but sincerely full of joy.  You know that I best express myself through song & this is the first one that popped into my head, so I’m gonna go with it. Enjoy your day!

Alive – P.O.D.

Everyday is a new day
I’m thankful for
Every breath I take
I won’t take you for granted (I won’t take you for granted)
So I learn from my mistakes
It’s beyond my control
Sometimes it’s best to let go
Whatever happens
In this lifetime
So I trust in love (so I trust in love)
You have given me
Peace of mind

Chorus:
I feel so alive
For the very first time
I can’t deny you
I feel so alive
I feel so alive
For the very first time
And I think I can fly (fly)

Sunshine upon my face (sunshine upon my face)
A new song for me to sing
Tell the world
How I feel inside (Tell the world how I feel inside)
Even though it might
Cost me everything
Now that I know this
So beyond, I can’t hold this
I can never
Turn my back away
Now that I’ve seen you (Now that I’ve seen you)
I can neva look away

Repeat chorus

Now that I know you
(I could never
Turn my back away)
Now that I see you
(I could neva look away)
Now that I know you
(I could neva
Turn my back away)
Now that I see you
(I believe no matta
What they say!)

Repeat chorus twice
