The Best Things

Winter’s dark grip is being released.  Spring is here! 

I’ve been really motivated by a song I heard on the radio lately-Michael Franti’s “I’ll Be Waiting.”  I love this song.

The best things in life aren’t things.

They’re living and breathing.

The best things in life aren’t things.

They’re something you can believe in.

 

These lyrics are so powerful.  It’s easy in the dark of winter to lose perspective.  To hibernate.  To forget what’s really important.  To disconnect from people that bring us happiness and love.

Spring is this new opportunity to get out of the house.  To connect with others.  To see the world as it really is.  And yes, the world is broken.  This song even references the pain in this world.

The best things in life aren’t things.

They’re laughing and crying.

The best things in life aren’t things.

They’re frightened, they’re still fighting.

 

There is still hope.  There is always hope.

So let’s take this season to get out of our heads.  Let’s take this season to get some fresh air.  To take risks.  To choose love.
