Some people find messages in bottlesā¦I find them in songs. Often, I wake up with a song on my mindā¦and not always one Iāve heard recently. Think the old tuneā¦Catch a Falling Star and Put It in Your Pocketā¦where did that one come from? I donāt have a clueā¦but there it was welcoming me out of the dream world the other day. Bertha thought it was a hoot when I told herā¦I think she has a crush on Perry Comoā¦go figure.
Anyway, last Saturday morning I was still playing with the idea of starting a blogā¦or doing something with my writing. Interestinglyā¦the first two songs on the radio that morning wereā¦Change Your Mind by Sister Hazel and Cool Change by Little River Bandā¦I took them as my message. I must have been being stubbornā¦it took two to do the jobā¦but here I am writingā¦so it must have worked.
Yesterday I struggled a bit with the postā¦sharing it was pretty vulnerableā¦sort of like those dreams where you show up naked at Church⦠and the song that played for encouragement wasā¦Say (What You Need to Say) by John Mayer.
That message got me. Itās easy to say what I want to say when I write. To hide my true self behind Pollyanna wordsā¦nice and safeā¦but itās harder to say what I need to say. Iām not even sure what thatās gonna be from day-to-day.
Bertha says Iāll figure it out as the words flowā¦and Walking on Sunshine starts to play. And donāt it feel good!

You find signs in songs all the time. I find them in billboards, car tags, AND songs, too. When I took a new job I felt good about it but was still a bit apprehensive. Then, the first song I heard was "I Can See Clearly Now," and I grinned and knew it was the right choice. I believe we receive signs because we practice having an open heart. Don't you?
Yes, I believe that having an open heart is the key to recognizing the signs…otherwise…they are just songs and billboards…
I do that too! Interesting how the words are there in front of us when we need them or the song comes on the radio to inspire us.
Ruth Anne…today's message was…If you wanna be someone else…change your mind…or something close to that…second time I've gotten it lately…guess I have some thoughts to change!
