Sunday’s Be Happy Challenge:

– Three Songs That Put You in a Good Mood. –

As you know, I love music.  I have playlists for everything: working out [ha!], boating, lying on the beach, self pity parties, etc.  I can find appropriate music for any mood I can ever imagine feeling.

Here are three songs that can put me in a good mood every time I hear them!

1. Three Little Birds – Bob Marley

“Don’t worry about a thing,

‘Cause every little thing gonna be alright.”

2. Love – Matt White

“And love… such a silly game we play,

Like a summer’s day in May.”

3. Ob-La-Di, Ob-La-Da – The Beatles

“Happy ever after in the market place…”

How can any of these not cheer you up and make you smile?!

“One good thing about music, when it hits you, you feel no pain.” ~Bob Marley

I LOVE music!  It expresses everything that I can’t put into words, and there’s always a song of some sort that perfectly matches my mood, my situation, or whatever point I’m at in my life.

I gave Arden an award recently wherein she had to pick 20 song lines or lyrics that best describe her life.

I thought the idea was pretty awesome, if I do say so myself, so I decided to put my life in song, as well.  (Except I don’t get any cool award out of it… Hmphh.)

My Life in Music:

“All of You is more than enough for all of me…” [Enough – Chris Tomlin]

“I’m going off the rails on a crazy train…” [Crazy Train – Ozzy Osbourne]

“It’s just these simple things keep me holding on…” [Simple Things – Amos Lee]

“Only got twenty dollars in my pocket…” [Thrift Shop – Macklemore]

“I need a shrink just to tell me what I think…” [Push You Away – Pink]

“The only escape from the miseries of life are music and cats…” ~Albert Schweitzer

As you all know by now, one of my favorite bloggers and favorite [nearly] crazy cat ladies is Arden.  Under normal circumstances, I would have nominated her for the Liebster Award, but the first time I received it she was my nominator, and I couldn’t nominate her back, and the second time I received it, she had already received it, too.  But… she definitely deserves another award because 1) she’s awesome, and 2) she needs something to blog about tomorrow.  Sooooo I’ve made up an award especially for her.

Please join me in welcoming Crazy Cat Lady Arden as the first only latest recipient of the MEDAL OF AWESOMENESS!!!

Here’s how this award works:

1. [Proudly] display the Medal of Awesomeness on your page.

2. Give a shout out to your nominator.

3. Nominate one of your favorite fellow bloggers to receive the Medal of Awesomeness so he or she can be as awesome as you.

4. Tell us 20 song lines or lyrics that best describe you/your life.

5. Your lyrics cannot have any reference to cats.  None.
