To Begin Again

I thought the season premier was last night, but apparently I was wrong.  So I went back and watched last season's finale on Grey's Anatomy... which ends with this poignant song.  I'm not sure how I missed it the first time I saw that episode, but I immediately loved it and downloaded it today - I've actually had several moments like that with the music on Grey's - whoever chooses their songs is pretty spot on!  The official music video is shot in NYC, and the song's lyrics make it pretty clear that it's an ode to finding hope through the pandemic loss and devastation.  But it works on a lot of levels... pretty much any time you feel the need to press into hope and begin again, and it highlights the unique way kids help you to do just that and find new perspective. ❤

 

"When the world was ending, we'd hold on to the past  'cause it's all we thought that we would ever see. But then the sun came right back, and the birds sang as if nothing had happened.  And it's all right. It's okay.  We will get another day to begin again, to begin again, to begin... again. I don't know how. I don't know why. But I know that I will try to begin again, to begin again, to begin to live and love and breathe again."  ❤❤❤

On that note (of new beginnings that follow hard seasons), I'm making great progress on my Adoption Profile book, and it's been pretty fun creating it.  This will probably be the final page, and the colors and confetti and glitter frame all make me pretty happy - the whole book feels very me, as it should, I guess! lol

Happy Friday, friends!
