So on my last 11 hour drive home I started listening to all the country songs on my ipod. Well, that is almost 48 hours of music. And while I was listening to this I started thinking how different songs really help me describe me. So I put together a play list of songs that I think really describe a lot of who I am and how I feel and try and live my life. None of them fit perfect but at the same time they help me find my way down my own path of self discovery. Some are sad for the down days, some are happy for the up days, and some of them are sentimental. Beware that I seem to have eclectic music taste, some of the songs I find in movies, but most are from the radio. Also they are predominately country. So here are some of the songs that I've been really identifying with lately (in no real particular order): It Happens by Sugarland; The More Boys I Meet by Carrie Underwood; Take It Like A Man by Shelly Wright; Hold On by B*Witched; Stand by Rascal Flatts; Flirt by The Pussycat Dolls; She'd Give Anything by Boy Howdy; You Had A Bad Day by Daniel Powter; Somedays You Gotta Dance by the Dixie Chicks; Broken by Lindsey Haun; Bitch by Meredith Brooks; I Wanna Be Loved Like That by Shenandoah.
Mostly this random introspection comes from the fact that my travel assignment will be ending soon and I don't have what I consider a real job lined up for after. I will hopefully be getting enough home health hours as a nurse to get health insurance but that is a long way away from where I want to be in an ICU. So I've been having some life issues and identity issues because I tend to define myself as a hospital nurse first. Today I was having a bad day and went out and bought some dove chocolate. And as is mostly common knowledge there are little sayings on the wrappers and the first three that I got tonight just spoke to me and will probably be finding there way into my thoughts and musing. They are as follows (beware the corny factor here): "Success is getting what you want, and happiness is wanting what you get", "Make whatever you do count", and "It's okay to live without a "big picture" in mind".
So as I adapt to my current situation and learn to live with life not going according to my master plan I keep these songs and sayings in mind. I know it's nothing real earth shattering but at this time it is fracturing my world.
