Love, for you, for me, and for all.

Love is a choice. Whether it's romantic love or a love for those around you. It's a choice. We decide who we love. We decide how much we love. We decide how to love. We decide when to love. But I think we need to start giving love to everyone. Have you heard that before? Of course. But I mean it. We need to enter all conversations with positivity and kindness no matter how we feel. If we can't bring that to a conversation or a situation then maybe it'd be best to keep our words few in that instance. We can love everyone around us no matter how annoying, clingy, needy they are. Because we choose who we love. And everyone around us needs that constant love. Because life is hard, days can be horrible, jobs and those around us can suck. That's life. So we need to help build others up when it seems impossible. And maybe this sounds exhausting. That's because it is. I believe we are supposed to love until we don't have energy to love more. Then take a nap and do it all again. It's time we sit down and think what kind of attitudes we bring with us during our days. When are we the grumpiest, judge-mental, rude... And after this self evaluation we need to make a change. It'll be difficult, but we need to try more than we do. We are self-absorbed and lazy. And we know it. So let's decide to make small changes, positive talk, smiling more, more outgoing, friendly with those we don't know, reaching out to a old/new friend. Whatever it is we need to love. All we do, we need to love. This is the cheesiest thing in the world, and I apologize. But I feel you get my point. So I leave you with this, I hope you are well, and I hope you can spread kindness, joy and love everywhere you are.

No such thing as too many tunes.

I listen to too much music. Or maybe I don't. Maybe I think about music too much. Very likely.
Either way, I force you to enjoy this. Okay not really, but I know you will becauase I'm in love with it all.
Kacey Musgraves- Follow Your Arrow
(Her first song off this album was lyrical genius, and this song is just the same. Very sassy and brutally honest. She wants to kill judgement, and I love that).
Lady Antebellum- Downtown
(This is too catchy not to love).
Ashley Monroe- You Ain't Dolly(And you ain't porter) feat. Blake Shelton
( I love how old school this is, and her vocals?!? phenomenal).

In honor of the late Mindy McCready, I'm posting this song, because her music, her words, were a big part of my growing up. So I thank her, and wish her sons the best as they go on.
Mindy McCready- Ten Thousand Angels
