The Bare Necessities

Music makes me happy. I got quite a gift for V-Day this year. Yes, my very own itouch. I've been dying for one for a loooong time, and it finally happened. It's a super fun gizmo... it's got games, scriptures, weather, scheduler, wi-fi, and most important- MUSIC! I love it. I take it running with me, in the car, out in the garden, in the kitchen while I'm fixing dinner, I listen to it while I'm feeding Maggie... and the list goes on. It has become pretty handy, and I haven't even facetimed with my Mommy yet. ;)

Anyway, while we were making the trek to Weatherford from Houston I put all the songs on shuffle. I love shuffle, there's so much suspense has to what song is coming next... it could be anything from "Enter Sandman"- Metalica to "Just a Spoon full of Sugar"-Mary Poppins. AHHHH!!!! I love it. I don't know how to emphasize how much I love it on the dang computer! Seriously, as excited as a dog getting a biscuit.

Well, it was one o'clock in the morning and my babies were both sound alseep while Tyler was driving the truck in front of me. It had been a long day, long week I'd say, and I just felt like I was at the end of my rope. My head was clouded with negative thoughts and indecision that I just couldn't seem to shake. I couldn't stop thinking about what I wanted; what other people had that I didn't. I felt like we were driving our little family into a black abyss not knowing how or if things will ever work out. In summation, I was pouting. Better yet, murmuring.
And then this song started to play: "The Bare Necessities" from The Jungle Book. In a heartbeat, my sad disposition turned into a happy one. Particularly at this part:
                                                   And don't spend your time lookin' around

For something you want that can't be found

When you find out you can live without it

And go along not thinkin' about it

I'll tell you something true

The bare necessities of life will come to you

Just what I needed to hear. Thanks Baloo.
