There is a song by the popular country band, Little Big Town, entitled
Happy People,
that I am drawn to lately. I wanted to share the lyrics with you in the hopes that you can take the rest of this summer and relax a little bit, take some time to just be happy and enjoy and appreciate what you have and who you are. Just want to add, being happy as long as we are not hurting others or doing anything illegal.
One of my favorite lyrics in the song is "Happy People don't fail, Happy People just learn." We are so frightened of failing sometimes that we don't go out of our comfort zone due to fear. If we looked at experiencing something new as a learning opportunity instead, would you live more of life?
Two recent experiences where I went out of my comfort zone were giving a presentation to part of my church community and walking a metal plank on an obstacle course that hung out over the ocean. I do not consider myself a great presenter but encourage myself to do it several times a year to learn how to do it better. The metal plank was scary but exciting, as I was the first in my family to attempt the obstacle course on the back of the cruise ship we were on a couple of weeks ago. I learned that I still believe in myself and it's OK to be a little scared.
If you get a chance to listen to the song in its entirety, it's a fun and simple uplifting song. Life doesn't always have to be complicated. Sometimes simple is best.
Enjoy your summer and Happy 4th of July.
Celebrate our country, each other and be safe.
As always, please pass along this information to someone you feel may benefit from its content.

Happy People
By Little Big Town
They don't judge, or hold a grudge, don't criticize
'Cause all the hurt sure ain't worth all the guilt they feel
If you want to know the secret
Can't buy it, gotta make it
You ain't ever gonna be it
Never take it for granted
They just wait their turn
Know the golden rule, what you're goin' through
Even if they never been there
If you want to know the secret
Can't buy it , gotta make it
You ain't ever gonna be it
Never take it for granted
These days ain't always easy to find
They're the ones that you want standing by your side
No time for greed, if they need some, give them a slice
And we'll all be happy people
Well life is short
And love is rare
Please listen to the song if you can. It has a fun beat as well.
