I love when I forget about music and then have a grand reunion with a certain album - and let the good memories of those jams just flow. Somewhere around the time of Max being born, I misplaced my iPod. By the grace of God, I finally found it in a random drawer somewhere a few weeks ago. I've had the greatest time getting re-acquainted with my music. Especially Mat Kearney. Oh yes!
So I'm jamming to him right now at work, and I can't help but remember the season of my life that I was listening to Young Love (Sooner or Later) every free moment I had. I would listen to it as I grudgingly drove to my terribly depressing job, and I was so unsure of what the future held for me and my little family. Would I ever get a new job? Where would we live?? Can I survive outside of the Fort Collins bubble? WHAT AM I DOING WITH MY LIFE!!!!! (I also learned an important life lesson during this season of my life...having a husband does not solve all of your problems. Had I known that a few years ago, maybe I would've had less panicked nights, fearing a forever-single life)
SPOILER ALERT: it all worked out - and Mat Kearney was there for the ride. Today, I sit at a job that I get to love, with co-workers that are true adults and fantastic human beings. I can indeed survive city life, even though I miss Old Town Fort Collins terribly. I love that certain songs can remind me of sadness that has been replaced by happiness. I can still feel the hopelessness and fear of that season of my life, but I can smile as I know that it's been stomped out by new beginnings.
Maybe it's my Bronco brain...maybe it's my coffee buzz...maybe it's just because life is good. But darnit, today is going to be a good day!!
Also, will I ever learn how to spell "liaison" correctly?? Who invented that word anyway?
Peace out.
