Great Gratitude

Today, I'm thankful for the Zac Brown Band. Yep, that's right. I'm thankful that this band exists, and for their music. It makes me forget my worries, transports me to another place. Especially their song "Where the Boat Leaves From." While this video isn't actually a video, it still has the song, and I thought you might all like to hear it. :-)



They also play "Toes" which is a great song as well.

I know, being thankful for a band is a bit strange. But here's the thing: without music, my life would not be as full. I've loved music my whole life. Piano lessons, clarinet, flute, oboe, and piccolo. I've played them all. (Some better than others. :-)) And this particular band just has a great sound. Zac Brown (the lead singer) also reminds me of my brother-in-law.

So, whenever you hear these songs, remember to take a moment and be in your favorite place. That's where I am whenever I hear them.

Bloggy luv

Every morning I read through a few favorite blogs. They really don't have much in common: some are political blogs, some are cooking blogs, and some are random. This morning as I read through the list of them, I realized the ones I look forward to the most are the random blogs. You just never know what you'll find when you get there, and I tend to get some great conversation starters from them.

One of my favorite "random" blogs is June Cleaver Nirvana. Holly is a Mom of 3 boys, and always has something to say about those kiddos. She has random stuff on her blog, like Potluck Mondays, What's in Holly's Fruit Bowl Today?, and Commenter of the Week. LOVE it!

So, for the record, I've got a bit of a blogger crush on Holly. Love the stories about the kids and Mom life, love the randomness of what she chooses to post, and just wish I could be a bit more like her on my own blog. Alas, I'm not much of a writer, and I don't even think anyone reads my blog. It is, however, the best place for me to work through my thoughts on various things. Hopefully someday I'll say something here that resonates with someone out in webville. But maybe not, and that's ok, too.

Every now and then I'll be posting about some of my favorite blogs. Feel free to click on over to them, check them out, and come back here and let me know what you like/dislike about it. Or even share your favorite blogs. I love finding out about new places, new ideas, and I know there are so many out there that it's hard to find all the good ones.

Now I've got to come up with a good name for these posts, so you will always know what I'm about to talk about. I'm open to ideas from you guys. What do you think it should be called? Bloggy luv? Good bloggy things? (Martha Stewart might sue me over that name!) I'd love to hear your ideas, and I know that there are more creative people out there than me!

God knows you all don't want to hear about cancer ALL the time!
