Today’s song was a request from one of my readers. I have to say, it’s completely appropriate as a weekend pick-me-up. But, it’s also a little bittersweet for me to post it because this movie (the original, of course!) was one I wanted to watch with Ex-BF and the boys. I always thought Drake would love it, and I wonder if he’s seen it yet. On a happier note, my college roommate once told me that she used to kick off her shoes and sing this song to her sister after returning from church with her family. That story makes me smile.

Saturday’s Song: Sweet Child…With A Cello…
I’d like to dedicate today’s song to a friend of mine. While she’s neither separated nor divorced, she embodies the qualities necessary for anyone who might be going through such a transition. She’s a strong and independent woman who knows who she is. She’s able to think critically and logically without letting emotions overcloud her thought process. I don’t always like what she has to say, yet I always appreciate her perspective on the oh-so-many issues we discuss.

Twice over the past week, Whitesnake’s Here I Go Again has come on the radio in my car. Hearing it while driving reminds me of the days when I used to listen to the song on cassette while cruising in my Camaro. Now that I’ve said that, I feel the need to disclose that I’m not quite as old as that statement might lead one to believe 😉
Anyway… the fact that I heard the twenty-five-year-old (whoa, really??) song twice in the past seven days made me think it would be a good one to share here today…

May 24 was the anniversary of the night my husband said we should separate. Six years ago this weekend, I walked through a street fair with an old friend and told him, “I’m still sleeping and eating, so I know I’m ok.”
All of this reminds me of the song that was my personal anthem (well, one of them) during that period of my life and I thought it would be fitting to share it here today. I love this song because it represents the power that we have to take control of a situation instead of simply letting things happen to us.

Today’s song was submitted by one of my readers, yay 🙂
I never would have picked this song myself… partially because I’d never heard it and also because I prefer songs that are accompanied by words (I can’t “hear” the music the way musically-inclined people can). Due to the fact that we’re going lyric-less today, I give you a video only for Joe Satriani’s Summer Song. Outside my house the skies are blue and the air is warm. I suppose this is an appropriate feel-good song to listen to while I mow my grass…
