Music Therapy with Miss Moon

“ God is the Sun and when His rays fall upon your heart, not impeded by the clouds of egoism, the lotus blooms and the petals unfold.”
~ Sri Sathya Sai Baba

" The sun does not shine for a few trees and flowers, but for the wide world's joy."
~ Henry Ward Beecher


“Today a new sun rises for me; everything lives, everything is animated, everything seems to speak to me of my passion, everything invites me to cherish it”
~ Ninon de Lenclos

“These things I warmly wish for you Someone to love, some work to do, A bit o' sun, a bit o' cheer, And a guardian angel always near”
~ Irish Blessing

As much enjoyment I get from my night walks I must say that my favorite thing to do each day is to go out and feel the sun on my skin. It's getting cooler here in New York City, but there is still sunshine to bask in, if one takes the time out to look for it. Scientists have documented the effects sunlight has on improving one's mood, and from personal experience, I agree. I am definitely a daughter of the darkness, but I proudly admit to having a (not very) clandestine affair with sunlight!!

So this week, for the Creative Visualization Challenge I ask that you spend as much time as you can out in the sunlight. Feel the warm rays of the sun and feel fabulous about it. And to serve as a little inspiration, I hope you all will enjoy "Soak Up the Sun" by Sheryl Crow.



My friend the communist
Holds meetings in his RV
I can't afford his gas
So I'm stuck here watching TV

I don't have digital
I don't have diddly squat
It's not having what you want
It's wanting what you've got

I'm gonna soak up the sun
Gonna tell everyone
To lighten up
I'm gonna tell 'em that
I've got no one to blame
For every time I feel lame
I'm looking up
I'm gonna soak up the sun
I'm gonna soak up the sun

I've got a crummy job
It don't pay near enough
To buy the things it takes
To win me some of your love

Every time I turn around
I'm looking up, you're looking down
Maybe something's wrong with you
That makes you act the way you do

I'm gonna soak up the sun
Gonna tell everyone
To lighten up
I'm gonna tell 'em that
I've got no one to blame
For every time I feel lame
I'm looking up
I'm gonna soak up the sun
While it's still free
I'm gonna soak up the sun
Before it goes out on me

Don't have no master suite
I'm still the king of me
You have a fancy ride, but baby
I'm the one who has the key

Every time I turn around
I'm looking up, you're looking down
Maybe something's wrong with you
That makes you act the way you do
Maybe I am crazy too

I'm gonna soak up the sun
Gonna tell everyone
To lighten up
I'm gonna tell 'em that
I've got no one to blame
For every time I feel lame
I'm looking up
I'm gonna soak up the sun
I'm gonna soak up the sun

I'm gonna soak up the sun
Got my 45 on
So I can rock on.
