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.
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.
I’m in total agreement with Dominique ... I said it out loud to myself yesterday that I don’t know when I got so angry, bitter, and unable to recognize my true self, the being I used to be, even a couple of years ago. The season, snow, white lights and glow, are definitely helping tho✨ That was a lot of unintentional rhyming, lol. Great reminder xo
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
It's been such an educational year for me. I've had friends drop by the wayside (communication-wise not healthwise). I've lost an aunt and an uncle, and I've made new friends from across the globe. But the same message still holds, be still, be in the moment. And I'll not forget that going forward, this is precious. Thank you so much for your art!
The past few years I've struggled to find the joy. I force myself to go through the motions of getting out some decorations, putting up the Christmas tree and making piles of cookies. I do it hoping that someday the joy will come back and ill be thankful I pushed through, and maybe even made a few sweet memories along the way. Even if it's just a little spark of joy, I can't let it burn out; someday it will become a flame again.

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
