Tragic Irish Songs
So I'm driving to Phoenix yesterday morning, the second time this week, and I decide to listen to a new CD I picked out as a bonus item for supporting the world's best radio station, KXCI Community Radio.
Let me tell you, there is nothing better to put your life into perspective than to listen to tragic Irish songs about death and unrequited love!
The songs are incredibly sad, and Brid Dower sings with a clear, gorgeous voice. I fell in love with the CD, and felt so grateful that my life isn't nearly as bad as the characters in her songs :)
On to running: managed to fit one whopping run in this week between all my meetings, and I've hit all my yoga classes. I'm feeling strong and loving the feeling of working and stretching my body. I'm already getting better at the pigeon pose!
Tonight will be fun; I'm heading out with many friends to celebrate this new chapter in my life. We'll listen to a friend's band play happy hour at one of my favorite haunts, and then maybe we'll hit dinner and more fun after that. I'm so excited!

The pigeon pose is hard. That is definitely something to be proud of.

So THAT'S what they sound like? I might actually like this band. See you tonight.

She does have a beautiful voice. Our oldest son, Web, loves Irish ballads. He too has a beautiful voice and sang one for me recently - I loved it!
Have fun tonight!

Angie,
Dang! Does Brid have a problem with Seasonal Affective Disorder? Nice voice but throw a country twang to the music and she's gone Nashville! Oh she may need to mention pickup trucks, buckle bunnies, or barrel ponies in her lyrics to make the top 10.
Have fun tonight and stay out of trouble! If you can't stay out of trouble then you better tell us about it!
Cheers!

I don't think I could handle the tragic Irish songs. I need something a little more upbeat and positive. Keep up the yoga.

I'm glad the yoga is helping - I really need to do more yoga. Good for the soul too.
