Find your song (and sing it)

I haven't been feeling well today or tonight....or rather tomorrow morning. Whatever. I took a nap this morning and then spent most of my day lounging on my bed looking through books and magazines. I had gathered a huge pile of books and a pair of scissors because I plan to try an idea for a "scrap" journal that I'd seen somewhere before using images and words cut from magazines. I started going through a January copy of Real Simple.

I found this article (click the title above) and decided to "scrap" the whole thing. I am going to put this into a plastic sleeve so I can read it every time I'm nervous about a job interview or test or whatever is causing me to doubt myself. Read it; It will change your tune!

It took awile but I finally found my tune!

Happy Girl by Martina McBride

Below is some great chipmunk talent in action by Kristina King! It was the best video I could find on Youtube. I laugh myself silly every time I see it. The words are below in case you can't hear them clearly LOL



I used to live in a darkened room
Had a face of stone
And a heart of gloom
Lost my hope, I was so far gone
Cryin' all my tears
With the curtains drawn
I didn't know until my soul broke free
I've got these angels watching over me

CHORUS
Oh watch me go
I'm a happy girl
Everybody knows
That the sweetest thing that you'll ever see
In the whole wide world
Is a happy girl

I used to hide in a party crowd
Bottled up inside
Feeling so left out
Standing in a corner wearing concrete shoes
With my frozen smile
And my lighted fuse
Now every time I start to feel like that
I roll my heart out like a welcome mat

REPEAT CHORUS

Laugh when I feel like it
Cry when i feel like it
That's just how my life is
That's how it goes

Oh watch me go
I'm a happy girl
And I've come to know
That the world won't change
Just 'cause I complain
Let the axis twirl
I'm a happy girl

REPEAT CHORUS

Oh, yeah Oh, yeah
I'm a happy girl
