Break My Stride by Matthew Wilder

I love the 80's!  I had some of my best years in the 80's.  Growing up, wearing parachute pants, french rolling my jeans.  Ok, don't ask to see any pictures.  But some of my favorite music is from the 80's.  There was so much color and life in the music then.  So much optimism and hope.  And even though the production was kind of cheesy sometimes, the message was great.  And this one is no exception.

Lovely Day by Bill Withers

Sometimes you just need someone to remind you that today is a great day.  It is so easy to get caught up in the hustle of everyday life.  And it's even easier to get caught up in the negativity of those around you.  I have been miserable on the most beautiful, sunny days.  I may be out driving around, running errands, and just whining the whole time about traffic.  But if somehow I can remind myself to take 2 seconds and look up from my clenched grip at 10 and 2, I see the sun, the grass, the people.  All the good stuff that was there the whole time and I realize it is actually a lovely day!

Can't Stop The Feeling by Justin Timberlake

I finally watched the movie Trolls last night.  What a great movie!  And the message in that movie is spot on.  We all deserve to be happy and we all have the power to be happy within us.  And sometimes we just need the right song to help bring it out!

This song always brings the happy out of me.  Especially after seeing the movie.  So if you haven't seen Trolls yet, do yourself a favor and watch it soon.  Then, put Justin on repeat, get up and be happy!

Don't try to stop the feeling because you can't.  I would follow those trolls anywhere!
