On a beautiful Wednesday evening as I made my journey home at the end of a work day, I reflected on all the craziness that has happened this week in our world. Daily, I have heard children dying or near death from senseless acts of violence, planes colliding in mid air in a city that has been devastated since 911 and children taking the lives of their elders. On top of everything else, our economy has not been making much progress.
In all of that chaos a simple song comes on the radio and I begin to smile. So with all the madness we endure on a daily bases, I wanted each of you to share this smile with me. If you haven’t heard it before you should Google it, but in the meantime I am going to leave you with the lyrics. The song is Zoom by the Commodores and if you don’t smile or at least find some silence in the madness let me know.
I may be just a foolish dreamer but I don't care 'cause I know my happiness is waiting out there somewhere I’m searching for that silver lining horizons that I’ve never seen oh I like to take just a moment and dream my dream oh and dream my dream
oh- zoom I’d like to fly far away from he-re where my mind oh Lord sees fresh and clear and I’d find a love that I long to see where everybody can be what they want to be
oh- I’d like to greet the sun each morning and walk amongst the stars at night I’d like to know the taste of heartache in my life in my life well I shared so many pains and I played so many games oh I hope that everyone finds the right way somehow someway someday

whoa- I wish the world was truly happy livin' as one I wish the word they call freedom someday would come someday would come
oh- zoom I’d like to fly far away from he-re where my mind can see fresh and clear and I’d find a love that I long to see where everybody can be what they want to be.
Make sure you check out this song. I’m telling you your mood will change instantly. Just remember even when life gets tough, there is always peace in the simple things.
Much Love
