Theme song

Throughout our lives, we can remember a particular song that fit where we were at. Sometimes pleasant, sometimes stirring painful memories. We reminisce.

Recently with a few turn of events that left me questioning myself, my abilities, wondering WHY!! A friend at the end of our conversation suggested I listen to Time of Your Life by Green Day. It wasn’t my kind of music so I had not listened to that group. I listened to it, noticing the tag line of Good Riddance. When I listen to it over and over, it seems to put what happened into perspective. Yes, I learned a lot about myself and my growth as well as added skills. So even though I felt like I gave my emotional commitment to it, that contributed to me feeling it as a personal thing. It might have been, might not have been. People do what they feel they need to do. I will do what I need to do, too. We ALWAYS have options, even if we do not like either one.

I was thinking it was also the Universe getting my attention. It looks like it is time to move (be shoved?) to the next stages, next opportunities. Show up and step into my gifts. One of my other songs (an anthem) is Let it Go from Frozen. Both versions. When I have held onto my past, that is what defined and limited me. When I began to break free from those labels, I began to redefine me to move out of that prison of the past, just like Elsa.

We can put together our own soundtrack for our life, adding and deleting songs as we shift and change. Even when I have it on repeat, I can feel the change in me. Of course, it can help to sing along. Even loudly. I do it in the car alone or at home alone. The other ears appreciate it. So sing it!
