Things are great at Our Old House. Two of our great friends got married last weekend down on Cape Cod, and we were able to get in a long weekend getaway. My ankle’s healed (oops, I didn’t tell you it was injured, did I? Well, it was and now it’s not!) so I’m working on getting back into running, House activities are picking up, and my parish Community Building committee is really moving along on our premiere event. I’m allover satisfied and content, a great place to be. I’m very blessed and thankful.
Any my music today reflects that. I’ve gotten a little into Spotify, a music site that allows you to build your own playlists with a HUGE library, almost like you have every song ever released in your own iTunes. There are a lot of ads, which drive me pretty mental, but I’ll take them, since it’s free. I’ve created a playlist you can listen to over there… it’s called Happy Heart, like this post, and it’s all songs that make me smile and think of Dan. Especially good for days when he’s on at the station and I won’t get to see him. Have a listen!
One of the songs is Ray LaMontagne’s “You Are The Best Thing,” which our friends played to open their dance floor this weekend.
Baby, it’s been a long day, baby
Things ain’t going my way
You know I need you here
Here by my side
All of the timeAnd baby, the way you move me it’s crazy
It’s like you see right through me
And you make it easier
You please me and you don’t even have to tryOh because, you are the best thing
You are the best thing
You are the best thing
Ever happened to meBaby, we’ve come a long way, baby
You know, I hope and I pray that you believe me
When I say this love will never fade awayOh because, you are the best thing
You are the best thing
You are the best thing
Ever happened to meNow both of us have known love before
To come on up promising, like the spring, just walk on out the door
Our hearts are strong and are hearts are kind
Well, let me tell you what exactly is on my mindYou are the best thing
You are the best thing
You are the best thing
Ever happened to meYou are the best thing
You are the best thing
You are the best thing
Ever happened to me
If it doesn’t put a smile on your face, there may be something wrong. What’s your Happy Heart song(s)?
