8 days until Janet and I would like to share my #8 Song on the top 10 list Better Days! This one hits a more personal spot in my life… and even though Janet never made a video or put this out off the All for You album I am so thankful she made this song… somehow it felt like she made it just for me!
So this is why I love this song so much….
Many people ask me how on earth I am so happy all the time? Why is it that you are always smiling? Does nothing go wrong in your life? Truth be told…a lot has gone wrong in my life and a lot still goes wrong in my life. What many people don’t know is I used to cry myself to sleep every night… I used to not want to be me… I used to just want to runaway….
My life has never been a walk in the park… I have had family issues I still today find it hard to deal with… I never thought I would make it to where I am today because I used to not feel like I could make anyone proud enough.. I used to feel like my life was a nightmare…
But I used to play this song over and over and over again. I fell asleep to this song, I woke up to this song. I actually after listening to the All for You album the first time.. had track 19 on repeat… I didn’t need anything else…. I cried to this song, smiled to this song.. and made it through thanks to this song.
This song got me through a lot of negativity in my life… negativity within myself… negativity in how I viewed the world.
BUT…Much like this song… I chose to make each day better and better…
Just seeing the sun makes me smile, being able to drive to work, getting that great plane ticket across the world for $300…
My sister once told me that when I call her with exciting news she will never be sure if it’s because I found a quarter in my purse of if I won a million dollars…
And really… I am okay with that… I’ve found so much joy now in all things in life… despite all that goes on now…
