Motivation Monday

written by Betsy Flak on 2017-12-11

I'm not sure if it's a Thanksgiving hangover or if I'm excited about the progress I've been making with my books or about finally scheduling the cover design for the long-awaited book 1 (and updating the title!), but I've been feeling incredibly thankful lately. So that's what this week's #MotivationMonday (or #MondayMotivation if you prefer) is about: remembering to be thankful for all that I have.

Here's the quote:

"I'm nothing special, in fact I'm a bit of a bore

If I tell a joke, you've probably heard it before

But I have a talent, a wonderful thing

Cause everyone listens when I start to sing

I'm so grateful and proud

All I want is to sing it out loud

So I say

Thank you for the music, the songs I'm singing

Thanks for all the joy they're bringing

Who can live without it, I ask in all honesty

What would life be?

Without a song or a dance what are we?

So I say thank you for the music

For giving it to me"

From "Thank You For The Music" by Abba.

For me, it's not so much about the music and the singing--especially since I'm a bit on the tone deaf side of life though I do love to sing in the privacy of my own home/car/shower--but more about the words and the writing. This song reminds me to be thankful I get to do what I love (even it feels hard or impossible sometimes).
