I totally forgot to post on Tuesday. I wanted to go pick up my piggy bank that I painted and then Marshall and I ended up having lunch in the shopping center. Then when I got home, my brain was preoccupied with what I was going to cook for dinner because I decided I was going to cook every Tuesday. John is our family chef because he loves cooking but he needs a day off. So instead of waiting for him to tell me when he needs a break, I decided to pick a night to cook because I'm not great at spur of the moment tasks. I need time to prepare and know what I'm doing. We had nachos. They were tasty.
Last week I talked about some very emotional stuff. Today I want to share some of the music that helped me through some of that struggle. Music is very healing and has a way of calming my soul like nothing else can.
The first song is by the Avett Brothers called "No Hard Feelings". It's all about wondering what might happen when we die. The song is just a big question with no answers but is very calm and peaceful. It reminds me that we all have these questions and we all wonder but it doesn't have to be upsetting. It helps me to live calmly with the question. Here is a video of the song from a movie about the Avett Brothers "May It Last".
So those are my songs and that's it for this week. Hopefully I won't forget to post next week. But if I do, I'll keep Thursday as my back up day.

The second song is called "Deep Water" by American Authors. This song is more about personal struggle and it really speaks to how I process turbulence in my life. The song talks about how "it comes and goes in waves. It always rolls back but it's never quite the same". Every struggle turns my life upside down in some way and when it's over, things return to normal but I'm changed. Sometimes I feel worse and most of the time I feel better. It's a reminder that the struggle is part of the happiness. I know I wouldn't be happy without my struggle. It has led me to the most interesting parts of my life. Here's the audio for "Deep Water".
So those are my songs and that's it for this week. Hopefully I won't forget to post next week. But if I do, I'll keep Thursday as my back up day.
