Thanks Mom!

I am well aware that my most wonderfully, amazing mom is always watching over me. I know she keeps me safe and helps to lead me where I need to be. There are days that my heart is heavy, though, and I really, really miss her. Sometimes, I know that what I write comes from either something she instilled deeply within me . . . or just something she'd like to have me pursue for the day.

After I wrote, yesterday, of a Happy Heart I headed in to take a shower. I am not normally a shower singer. I bathe, I dress, I'm gone! As I stepped into the shower yesterday, I began to sing a tune . . . the entire tune . . . and knew that momma had enjoyed my blog for the day and was simply adding to it. The '68/'69 tune by Andy Williams would not really be anything most folks my age would know, I don't think. I would have only been two or three at the time of its release. This song came directly from my mom. She used to sing it, taught it to us, and it came through loud and clear yesterday! Thanks, momma, for simply touching base and letting me know you're there, enjoy the blogs, and for . . . my Happy Heart.

There's a certain sound always follows me around
When you're close to me you will hear it
It's the sound that lovers hear when they discover
There could be no other for their love

It's my happy heart you hear singing loud and singing clear
And it's all because you're near me, my love
Take my happy heart away let me love you night and day
In your arms I wanna stay, oh my love

Feeling more and more like I've never felt before
You have changed my life so completely
Music fills my soul now, I've lost all control now
I'm not half, I'm whole now with your love

It's my happy heart you hear singing loud and singing clear
And it's all because you're near me, my love
Take my happy heart away let me love you night and day
In your arms I wanna stay, oh my love

Let your heart sing today . . .
