Remember That Joy? | 12.16.20
My goodness, yesterday’s newsletter must have struck a chord, because I heard from many of you about the people we once were, about becoming those people again. First, I want to reiterate to all you beautiful souls: The people you are right now, the precise people who are reading this, are amazing and stunning and worthy of so much celebration. I am so excited that so many of you were touched by yesterday’s post, that so many of you realized that the joy, the wonder, the excitement that you held when you were kids is something you want to have again. We get bogged down in this misconception that we’re supposed to be these beacons of stoicism and maturity, that we’re supposed to put our noses to the grindstone and work and forget the rest, that we truly do lose so much. If there’s ever a time, a season, hell a year to come back to that innocence and childlike jubilation, I’m fairly sure it is right now. You don’t have to be cynical, you don’t have to be serious, you don’t have to see the cracks in all things.
Remember the magic, remember how alive you once felt, and feel it again. If you forget, I’m here, reach out and I’ll help you find it again. I promise.
Remember magic,
how alive we used to feel?
Remember that joy?

I just wanted to throw this out as I’ve been listening to a new fave song... you may or may not have heard it (you can find it on Spotify while listening to Tyler’s podcast😉) but the lyrics melodies are just simple and lovely. They really remind me of some of the central themes we discuss here and what Tyler always writes about and reminds us of...I’ve included the Lyrics as well.... Look it up and Enjoy❤️🎶
“Life is beautiful” by Keb’ Mo’
Let's go driftin through the trees
Let's go sailing on the sea
Let's go dancing on the juke-join floor
And leave our troubles all behind, have a party
So easily forgotten, are the most important things
Like the melody and the moonlight in your eyes
And a song that lasts forever
Each song getting better all the time
Life is beautiful, life is wonderous
Every star above shining just for us
Life is beautiful, on a stormy night
Somewhere in the world the sun is shining bright
I get crazy, so afraid
That I might lose you some fine day
And I'll be nothing but a tired old man
And I don't wanna be without you at the party
So easily forgotten, the most important thing
Is that I love you - I do
And I want to spend my days and nights
Walking through this crazy world with you
Life is beautiful, life is wonderous
Every star above shining just for us
Life is beautiful, on a stormy night
Somewhere in the world the sun is shining bright
So easily forgotten, the most important thing
Is that I love you - I do
And I want to spend my days and nights
Walking through this crazy world with you
(that's right baby)
Life is beautiful, life is wonderous
Every star above shining just for us
Life is beautiful, on a stormy night
Somewhere in the world the sun is shining bright
Shining Bright
I was saying only two days ago that I hated how serious and hard I had become. I remember the joy! Christmas helps remind me, but in the fog it’s not necessarily enough this year. Thanks for the reminder to search for it.
