Song of the Week: Katy Perry - Firework

HAPPY 2011!!!

Skiping the song of the week in favor of the Song of the Year:

I've always liked this song. It was not until I began choosing a song of the week that I really payed attention to the lyrics to this song. The first stanza of the chorus really says everything that I want us to embody in 2011:

"You just gotta ignite the light

And let it shine

Just own the night

Like the Fourth of July"

How many times have you allowed your circumstances to affect your mood, your emtiontal state, the way you treat your loved ones...? I have sank into dark emotional states numerous times because of my emotional circumstances and snapped at my children as well as my former husband. I had no direction "like a plastic bag Drifting throught the wind Wanting to start again." Life whipped me around like a plastic bag too.

I had to make a choice. I could continue drifting or I could ignite. 2011 is a year of illumination for me. What will you choose?

"Baby you're a firework

Come on show 'em what you're worth."
