The last “misheard song lyrics” blog was a hit. Lots of people can identify with singing along to a song only to be called out because you sang the wrong words! It’s happened to all of us and can be embarrassing.

So, here’s the sequel…more misheard song lyrics…enjoy!

I hope you all have a great weekend!! See ya Monday!

I don’t know if you’ve seen the movie “The Bucket List”, but if you haven’t – you must. Go to the nearest Red Box and get it!! What a great movie with an even better message. Just to give you a taste, here’s my favorite line from the movie, “We live, we die, and the wheels on the bus go round and round”. Not that the whole movie is funny, there are those moments that make you think.

No one likes to think about death, but as my dad used to say, “we’re all gonna die one day”. So it’s more important than ever for you to stop waiting to do those things that you want to do. Want to sky dive? Why wait till you’re 40th birthday? Do it today! Ok, I know, it’s Thursday and you have to work, go this weekend then!

Some items on my bucket list:
1. Go to the location in California where my parents were married.
2. Learn how to step dance, those of you who know me can laugh now.
3. Take an MMA (mixed martial arts) class so I can kick butt if I need to.
4. FINISH COLLEGE ALREADY!

In all seriousness – no one is getting any younger. Do those things that you want to do, and do them as soon as you can – we are not guaranteed another day.

I will leave you with another quote from the movie: “Even now I cannot understand the measure of a life, but I can tell you this. I know that when he died, his eyes were closed and his heart was open. And I’m pretty sure he was happy with his final resting place, because he was buried on the mountain. And that was against the law.”

What’s on your bucket list?

Most days I wake up in a pretty good mood – but then there are “those days”.  You know, the days when no amount of coffee can fix it and I’d rather just stay in the bed.  We are all human and it happens.  Bad moods strike, BUT, you can fix it! 

Here are some suggestions that I found in my search to quiet my inner complainer:

• Try to figure out why you’re in a mood.  Is the dog annoying you?  Put him outside.  Hungry?  Grab a snack.  Make that annoyance disappear!! 
• Pay attention to how you carry yourself.  Shoulders down and sad?  Lift ‘em up!!  A change in posture may result in a change of attitude!
• Do what makes you feel good!  Jump in the car and crank the tunes!  Go for a run or walk that annoying dog of yours. :-)

Listen folks, staying in a bad mood for too long will start to impact your health.  And who wants backaches, insomnia or headaches?  Life’s too short for that!

When I’m in a bad mood I like to listen to “Texas Flood” by the one and only Stevie Ray Vaughan.  I’ve attached it below, you know, just in case you need it.

Have a great day!
