You are amazing, and you will do kick butt ...Tara,<br /><br />You are amazing, and you will do kick butt tomorrow! <br /><br />My recommendation for you is "Marching On" by One Republic. Some of the lyrics below are apt, but the message and the beat are what really get me. We keep going on, and we have the strength to do so because of each other. There is this continuous beat that sounds throughout, like a heartbeat, getting stronger as the song goes on. Even on mornings when I feel the least like getting up and facing the day, this song motivates me to get up and push through.<br /><br />Marching On, by One Republic<br />For those doubts that swirl all around us,<br />For those lives that tear at the seams,<br />We know,<br />We're not what we've seen,<br /><br />For this dance we'll move with each other.<br />There ain't no other step than one foot,<br />Right in front of the other.<br /><br />There's so many wars we fought,<br />There's so many things we're not,<br />But with what we have,<br />I promise you that,<br />We're marching on,<br />(We're marching on)<br />(We're marching on).<br /><br />KathleenAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7831578752928432376.post-77818241639416070072012-09-04T18:21:17.395-04:002012-09-04T18:21:17.395-04:00I agree with whoever suggested Beat It.

Reading this entry, before I got to the ...Hi Tara,<br /><br />Reading this entry, before I got to the homework assignment, I was already thinking to myself I knew what song I would want to listen to. I was not raised and don't consider myself to be religious, but I do consider myself to be a big fan of early 90's movies with a great message...and some great Whoopie Goldberg comedy too! "Oh Happy Day" was on every one of my pump-up mixes I listened to before soccer games, it still makes it on to my running mixes today, and you can be sure every time Sister Act II is on TBS I throw all my day's plans out the window to make time to watch! <br /><br />Hopefully this link works: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SLY7yI1xV-M <br /><br />Thinking of you every day and sending Happy thoughts to you!<br />CaeliCaeli Rubensnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7831578752928432376.post-12278937148533403322012-08-31T09:19:20.044-04:002012-08-31T09:19:20.044-04:00Dave Matthews Band, "So Damn Lucky"

While all the various suggestions are fab, ...Tara,<br /><br />While all the various suggestions are fab, I am going to add one more to the growing playlist: Bob Marley's "Three Little Birds." You know how it goes: <br /><br />"Don't worry about a thing, <br />'Cause every little thing gonna be all right. <br />Singin': "Don't worry about a thing, <br />'Cause every little thing gonna be all right!" <br /><br />While this has significant meaning to me b/c my Dad would sing it in his (poor) Jamaican accent impression, I think it is fitting. Perhaps you can think of your "three little birds" as Brian, Teddy and Annabel or of your friends, family and blog-o-sphere. In any event, it is an uplifting song with a great message. And as you have written, the power of the mind is a strong weapon in this battle and I believe every little thing IS going to be alright. Maybe if you keep singing the song over and over, your mind and body will be convinced too.

So on my run this morning, the first thing that came to mind was John Tesh. Yes, I just said that. I used to train to John Tesh when I was diving in college (my coach would select the music ....). It makes you feel like you're getting ready for the Olympics, so why not? Other more reasonable suggestions: Bon Jovi's Livin' on a Prayer and Simon & Garfunkel's Bridge Over Troubled Water (although the latter may be tear-inducing). And if you're in post-surgery and need to watch something inspiring, nothing like the movie Hoosiers to lift your spirits! (I'm from Indiana and my grandpa was friends with the real coach ... So it always inspires!) hannahnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7831578752928432376.post-44285107998467912792012-08-29T13:43:02.899-04:002012-08-29T13:43:02.899-04:00All You Need Is Love, the Beatles.
