Music is my Therapy

Song:  The Best Is Yet To Come (A Song For The New Year) Artist: Ben Rector 2022 It's been the kind of year I'd be fine if I forgot, yeah But I'll never forget it as long as I live and that's saying a lot The wildest menagerie of unfortunate crazy things and now it's all over So raise up your glass here's to brand new beginnings And leave in the past all the things that are ending Cause tomorrow will bring us a new morning sun My friends I believe that the best is yet to come So I guess now there's proof that all good things must come to an end, yeah And I couldn't tell you what comes next But I do know that we'll never ever be standing here again So here's to the memories, I forever keep them here with me And I can't believe that it's over So raise up your glass here's to brand new beginnings And leave in the past all the things that are ending Cause tomorrow will bring us a new morning sun My friends I believe that the best is yet ...

Song: Buddha Too Artist: Mason Jennings & Jack Johnson So, I wasn't planning on posting today but I just discovered this song late last night (or early, early this morning, however you want to look at it 😉) and I'm kinda obsessed and decided I should share! I love it so much!! It's so fun and unique and has a message of universal oneness. Even though I have my personal beliefs in God and who He is and how I worship Him, I respect others and their different beliefs and ideas and actually find many fascinating and inspiring. And that's the message of this song and what it's saying. Respect others. I hope you enjoy this as much as I do! ALSO: I just bought tickets to my first ever Jack Johnson CONCERT this summer and I'm STOKED!! Oh, Jesus, I love you And I love Buddha too Rama Krishna Guru Dev Daodejing and Muhammad Why do some people say That there is just one way To love you, God, and come to you We are all apart of you When prophets say they've he...

Song: Winter in the Air Artist: David Archuleta Not quite ready to be done yet 😊 This song is gorgeous! And even though we don't have much snow anymore - no White Christmas for me this year 😢 - you can definitely feel the winter in the air...😰 Snow is magical and this song captures the beauty and magic of fresh, fallen snow. Footprints in the snow The world a shining globe The scent of evergreen is like home A deep breath cold and clean Sound of distant bells The story they foretell An almost silent night A sacred stillness brought to life Like music, like magic Somehow it just happens I could stay here forever Nothing can compare To this moment with you And winter in the air Winter in the air Sparkling on the streets Red birds hear them sing All is calm and bright Underneath the stars that watch the night Like music, like magic Somehow it just happens I could stay here forever Nothing can compare To this moment with you And winter in the air Winter in the air On this snowy ni...

Song(s): The Christmas Song & That's Christmas to Me Artist(s): Nat King Cole & Pentatonix M E R R Y C H R I S T M A S ! ! ! 🎄🎅🤶🎁🍬🌟⛄ I hope everyone has enjoyed this wonderful holiday with friends and family, safety, good health and peace. As always, I had a lovely Christmas. It was a little harder than usual and I have shed a few tears throughout the day, feeling the heavy loss of my sweet puppy on my heart. But he's been with me in spirit and I am grateful for my family who lifted my spirits and helped me smile. These two songs represent this holiday so beautifully and I felt they were the perfect choice to end my Christmas Advent with.  The Christmas Song Nobody can sing this like Nat! 💓 Chestnuts roasting on an open fire Jack Frost nipping at your nose Yuletide carols being sung by a choir And folks dressed up like Eskimos Everybody knows a turkey and some mistletoe Help to make the season bright Tiny tots, with their eyes all aglow Will find it hard to slee...

Song(s):  Last Year & Penguin, James Penguin Artist(s): Kelleigh Bannen feat. Brad Paisley & Brad Paisley  Last Year I heard this song in a Hallmark movie but it makes me cry because the lyrics make me think of my dog😭 I got the boxes down from the attic With the tree up in the room Unwrapped every ornament Covered in pages from last year's Sunday Tribune Just about every one of them Reminds me of you Cause knick knacks and flashbacks And yester-year's news Oh, it's that time again For the memories of loved ones, family, and friends But this Christmas I know won't compare To back when you were here I guess there's always last year You were laughing by the light of the fireplace Every time I close my eyes The best days of my life Those cold winter nights Even though I realize There will never be another December like that But I'm trying to be thankful for what we had Oh, it's that time again For the memories of loved ones, family, and friends But th...

Song(s): One Last Song About Christmas & I've Got My Love to Keep Me Warm Artist: Goo Goo Dolls The Googs released two more Christmas songs this year! You can never go wrong with the Goo Goos! I can't just share one so...you get both! Don't worry, it's only two songs. That's a cakewalk compared to my Let It Snow & Winter Wonderland whopper of a post!  I can still feel the cold from the year that just passed Been drinking our lives from a half-empty glass One shot of hope puts a smile on your face And takes us all back to a happier place This dirty old town will always be home In this time of year when we all feel alone The worries will melt as I walk through the door The bartender waves as he gives me a pour Here's to one last song about Christmas Oh, how I miss us and all of our friends Raise a glass and cheers to the season We don't need a reason to love one another again There's a girl in the bar who everyone knows We don't talk too much ...

Song: Joseph's Lullaby Artist: MercyMe Beautiful song from Joseph's perspective! 😌💚 The lyrics are so sweet and tender, puts a lump in my throat and brings a tear to my eye. (PS: I hope you're proud of me...I'm only sharing one song today!). Go to sleep my Son This manger for Your bed You have a long road before You Rest Your little head Can You feel the weight of Your glory? Do You understand the price? Or does the Father guard Your heart for now So You can sleep tonight? Go to sleep my Son Go and chase Your dreams This world can wait for one more moment Go and sleep in peace I believe the glory of Heaven Is lying in my arms tonight But Lord, I ask that He for just this moment Simply be my child Go to sleep my Son Baby, close Your eyes Soon enough You'll save the day But for now, dear Child of mine Oh, my Jesus Sleep tight M E R R Y C H R I S T M A S ! ! !

Song(s): Blue Christmas, HERE (For Christmas), I Need You Christmas & Pin Drop Artist(s): Elvis Presley, Lukas Graham, Jonas Brothers & Sia I'm pretty sad and down today. It all started yesterday, which I feel badly about because all of my family was here for our annual gingerbread house making competition (and this year it really WAS a competition with voting and everything! I lucked out getting my super creative brother as a teammate and we ended up winning for our minimalistic, clean, simple Winter Wonderland house!). It was fun in the moment but there were also several times I felt sad and depressed throughout the activities of the night.  One reason for my sadness is how all my siblings are grown up and moving on. I have two brothers moving out of state come January, one of whom has never moved away from home before so that's going to be really weird without him. He brings so much energy, laughter and VOLUME to our home - especially with its dwindling numbers. M...
