The Daily Boost #666
Days can turn around
How about we start the week off slow and easy?
DAYS CAN TURN AROUND
Sarah Jarosz and Daniel Tashian
You know my mama always said
Water your garden and make your bed
There’s nothing like a little peace of mind
And the best things in life take time
Sometimes you don’t know til you try
Staring up at the moon you got stars in your eyes
Never turn down cold champagne
Don’t change your plans for a little rain
Sometimes you’re up, sometimes you’re down
Sometimes your heart’s in the lost and found
Your mind’s in the clouds but you’re stuck on the ground
And when you least expect it
Days can turn around
Days can turn around
I see you’ve got those tears in your eyes
You told yourself you’d never compromise
You were riding high and maybe you blew it
Now you can’t go around, you gotta go through it
Sometimes you’re up, sometimes you’re down
Sometimes your heart’s in the lost and found
Your mind’s in the clouds but you’re stuck on the ground
And when you least expect it
Days can turn around
Days can turn around
(My thanks to Sarah Jarosz and her fellow songwriter.)

Indeed. I try to keep in mind the phrase, "I've been here before and I'll be here again," no matter if it's a high or low, because those are judgments. I'd rather stick with Christina Baldwin's "Replace judgment with curiosity." On another NOTE: Really love the lyrics you find! Check out Carrie Newcomers "You Can Do This Hard Thing." It's on my morning alarm, sung by my husband, another amazing musician. ; )
I feel like I've been rocked awake today! "Sometimes your heart’s in the lost and found" and "Now you can’t go around, you gotta go through it" - I detect a theme in that second line....we're to plow through fear, just do it, get 'er done!! Find your way out of the lost and found!
