I had one of those moments on Saturday where I really hoped no one saw me! You probably can relate to this....
I was driving in the car by myself (oops no, Darby was actually in the backseat, probably puzzled by his quirky mama)
The window was down;
The sun was shining;
The breeze was light and just gently blowing my hair ;
And the radio was blaring from my not so quality speakers;
And I was singing along, with such reckless abandonment and happiness. It was to the new song, by Bruno Mars I think -I am not up with who sings what! It has an awesome beat and one you can belt out pretty easily without having to know the words.
And I was singing, humming and singing, and yelling and singing, and head banging and singing.
I cant sing, I have the voice of drowning cats, or that's what Dave used to say. I do agree.
But I didn't care. My day had been mega stressful up until that point but instead of getting all rattled. which I may add I did earlier in the day (that would require a whole other blog post), I instead channelled all this energy into positive , and sung my little lungs out!
And you know what, I felt so much better about life afterwards. I felt a buzz, endorphins had been released, and I could look at the day in a happier more refreshed light.
It just wasn't so lucky for the person that pulled up next to me at the traffic lights, they would have copped an earful, oh well, next time I will wind the windows up! Oh who cares, we only live once, wind those windows down....
When was the last time you embarrassingly sang in public? Doesn't it feel good?

You so needed that kind of day to lift your spirits and I love the thought of you so happy. There is nothing better than those moments where you just feel so alive you want to sing out loud - drowning cats or not lol xx
ReplyDeleteI have this compulsive habit of breaking into song... often. It usually happens when I'm around my family, many of whom, funnily enough, also do the same thing. Nonsense songs, to the tune of well known ones. Ha! I think it's genetic. But it sure does make me feel good! X
ReplyDeleteLove a bit of reckless singing in the car. Although I'm not Brave enough to have the windows down ;)
ReplyDeleteGood on you Jane! I sound so bad that I rarely sing with the windows down, but often torment the boys with loads of singing with the windows up!!
ReplyDeleteI am not a great singer either. Karaoke is my greatest nightmare. I have started to sing to try to diffuse my stress levels... usually Lenny Kravitz... I want to get away, I want to fly away, yeah yeah yeah. Drives Miss A nuts.
ReplyDeleteI love thinking of you like this, singing with reckless abandonment. Have a great week. xx
Car karaoke is my FAVOURITE! More s when they are 90's hits,,, I can't help but channel my inner Mariah.
ReplyDeleteHappy endorphins are the best.
