February 25th – On our anniversary

It’s February 25th, 2024; We’ve got a country ballad for you in this original song. The touching and heartfelt lyrics in this song give the female space to tell her tale. It makes us glad our parents stayed with each other–through the ups and downs. Fun for us to sit and reminisce. Today’s our 19th wedding anniversary and both, Richard and I are simply happy to walk to breakfast and enjoy a light meal. No cards. No flowers. No gifts. We’ve peeled it all back to just enjoying our time together. Simple living. Of course, our breakfast out is a treat, so there’s that. Wink!

Wiping the sleep from her eyes

Here’s the fifty-sixth new music post for 2024, as I consistently share one of our original songs each day. This is an older Richard Murrey original song (written prior to me) that portrays a scene of a woman’s man leaving her with a little one, whether for the night or longer. He packed his guitar and toothbrush. The child asked, “Mama, is Daddy still your man?”

I love the different tones of the guitars in this song. For me, that’s the hook. And as I listen, memories flood in.

Gagged on her coffee

She spits out her Jimmy Dean (breakfast sausage). She never thought he’d leave. And now, she’s got a kid in tow. Thanks. Thanks a lot! Been there; lived that. And it’s not an easy life. Oh, the questions left for a child after a parent’s split. UGH

The bridge of this song always makes me smile. Something about those tones. And the space needed to process. By the end of the song, we hear that the guy has found some success. The reference to the truck driver brought a smile to my face.

Happy to have had the good times

My dad, grandfather, and uncle were truck drivers. So, I found this old picture of my daddy holding me up to a mirror. Here’s my ‘hats off’ to the dads that stay. Dad used to take some long truck runs but decided pretty early on to drive a city truck so he could be home more with us–though he was a ramblin’ man too.

Always loved this picture of my daddy holding me

May we all feel freer and soar in ’24! And here’s to keeping the beat in our lives by integrating processes that bring us more calm, ease, and JOY!

Yours in expanding, smiling, spiraling consciousness,

Sheila “Spiral Sister” Murrey
