I woke up this morning with a huge smile on my face in part because I am filled will all of this positive energy due to my trip, but in part because I woke up to my ipod alarm clock playing Colin Hay's "Waiting For My Real Life to Begin". Of all songs it is funny that my shuffle landed on this one. The beauty and coincidence of it all. The song gets my morning mind thinking about a few things. 1. That Colin Hay is underrated and is such a fantastic singer songwriter. I wish he got more love since his days with Men at Work. But more importantly, 2. How lucky we all are to have lil luxuries like an Ipod alarm clock when many around the world are hoping and praying for clean water to consume. And 3. How poetic it is that in just a few short days I feel like MY real life will begin.

One of my favorite songs of all time. The lyrics are perfect for the journey on which you are about to embark. Safe travels. Each day remember to stop and fully enjoy what you're experiencing. This is an amazing opportunity and will most likely be a life changing one. Be ready for that paradigm shift to sneak up on you and take you to places you never expected to be. Enjoy! -Amanda
ReplyDeleteI absolutely love the iPod Angel (aka My Guardian Angel of Music); they seem to pick the perfect soundtrack for your life, don't they? Especially if we're open to the music - as you absolutely are.
ReplyDeleteBe careful out there Tif - but have fun also.
