So The Days Float Through My Eyes

If there's one thing I am certain of myself it's that I wear my music like a mood ring. A tricky thing, really. Does the ring turn the color of the mood you're currently experiencing? Or does your mood change to better match the color of the ring? I'd like to think that we have more control over our emotional state than most people give themselves credit for. If life is a series of choices, then I'm making an active decision to enjoy mine a bit more. I'd very much like to embrace the changes I see are necessary in my life rather than struggle against them. To be the change I want to see. Trust me, it's harder than it sounds.

I think that's why I enjoy this time of year so much. I am so in awe of the seamless transition from Winter's cold and dreary wet to the bright and beautiful Spring. Everything in nature seems to know its place. All of the tiny pieces fall in line behind the scenes to create the bigger picture. It always seems so effortless to me. I'd like my life to be more like that. I'm not expecting the changes to be quite so effortless, but I'd certainly like to facilitate them as best I can. That's where this mix comes from. Facilitating change. Making the mood ring as blue as I can get it. Enjoy.
