A Song For Saturday

I like the weekends again. There was a time when I didn’t, a time when I hated having so much unscheduled time on my hands. That was back when I constantly needed to be propped up by other people and therefore I was never more than a few inches away from my phone. Facebook, Twitter, email and text messages from caring friends and family members sustained me in the days when I couldn’t eat. And I am so grateful for the support they provided until I could make it on my own.

For a few days I’ve been toying with the idea of posting a song on Saturdays… something uplifting for anyone who might be struggling through the weekend. That was my intention today. However, I got a little sidetracked and stumbled upon this video.

Friday Music

I know, it’s not Friday yet… at least, not in my timezone. But I’m sure it will be Friday by the time most of you see this post. With that in mind, I thought I’d throw out some fun post-divorce music to jump-start the weekend. This was another one of my favorites back in 2006, around the time I bought my house.

Have a great weekend and enjoy this extremely creative video…
