Today while driving, I heard the familiar vocals of James Taylor. I smiled. Immediately transported to my college days 40 years ago. How does that happen? I was back in my apartment at 339 Vine in West Lafayette, IN. The issues I’ve been struggling with the past few months faded into the background as I belted out the words etched in my memory. Grateful Grateful, I realized that it is true that all things come to pass and we continue to move through our lives…no matter the lessons we are learning/living through.
I’ve been in the midst of growth (choosing to look at recent challenges as the potential for healing and growth that they offer rather than the pain that they appear to be in the day to day) and as a result have not felt compelled to post blogs.
I’ll keep this one short as I give thanks to James Taylor today in the car, Tony Bennet this evening. I listened to my iTunes library and started to celebrate the season with both “Snowfall” from 1994 by Tony Bennet and James Taylor’s (JT as I used to refer to him) “At Christmas” album from 2006. Who knows, tomorrow I might bust out a few Holiday decorations as the Season is upon us.
When was the last time that a song evoked memories that bubbled up to the surface for you?
