I had the day off today, and Dan had to work until 7, so it was pretty quiet. I was able to get a little cleaning done and even a little reading. I'm grateful for the serenity of it all.
I think my days off (or at least my days at home) well become more of reflection days than anything else. What I'm reflecting on today is just the fact that I've been doing this project for two weeks. By no means is two weeks a long period but I already feel like I'm seeing a positive change in myself.
One of the songs I've had stuck in my head all day as I went about my day is Paul Baribeau's "Ten Things." Personally, I adore Paul, and have for several years now since I first heard a cover of this very song and had to listen to the original. I have had the lyrics to this song printed out and hung in my bedroom ever since the days of living in the dorms. They're honestly something to try and live by.
Now, before you go and press play, I should warn you, if you're like my husband you won't care for Paul at all. In the day of everything being auto-tuned I'm grateful that Paul didn't succumb to it. This song (and any of his songs really) wouldn't have half the feeling that they do now, if they had been sifted through pitch-correction. I have always been a fan of imperfection in music. To me, it just gives me something more to connect to.
Honestly though, just listen to the words. Listen to the advice. And remember, "think of all the things that you love about your life, be thankful you are blessed with them."
