Happy Thoughts: Fantasy By Earth, Wind And Fire

When you're down and stressed out, what adds insult to injury is that you don't have the time nor the money to find any relief.  What happens it sure can be a real downer.  Well, in times like that I just do the next best thing and think happy thoughts.  Find that safe little corner in my mind where I can relax and take shelter from the harshness of everyday life.  One song that does that is Earth, Wind And Fire's "Fantasy".

All I need is to slap on my earphones and turn up a 24K song.  This one will very nicely when the stress starts pouring out.  Takes me out of the ugliness like an-out-of -body experience as I close my eyes.  There the good times come alive again.  All the buds are there and the partying comes alive again.  It may not be real but it's the next best thing.

I do hope when all the problems are resolved, I get to go out more. A lot of people are telling me that I've been stressing myself out too much.  Well I do plan to do that when things get better for now.  For now, this will do.  A few happy thoughts to chase the blues away.

Reasons: For All This: Reasons By Earth, Wind And Fire

Well the day is over and the  night has come signifying the end of another weekend.  Once again, at time I am taking a deep breath cause any plans that I have are once again changed by certain circumstance and there are things I still can't figure out.  What's frustrating is that I've wrestling with this thing for quite some time and no matter how much I research I still can't get it right and the weekend is the only time that I have to really scrutinize it.  With all the crap that's happening, I can't help but wonder if there is any reason behind and will it make sense in the end.  I guess that''s why I'm listening to Earth, Wind And Fire's song "Reasons"

As much as I am bewildered and frustrated by every nasty surprise that's suddenly thrown my way, I try to rationalize why it's happening.  Maybe there was something that I did or didn't.  Or maybe it was something that I overlooked.  Still, figuring out the reasons these doesn't even help. Sometimes it even makes things more crazy than before.  It just gets so frustrating dealing with all these things with no explanation in sight.

I know that this is more of a love song but since it's about reasons, I felt it was appropriate for this post.  Plus like of a lot of my 24K songs, it helps calm my nerves which is a small consolation when things are hard to understand.  There are just too many things that life throws at you and it's just so hard to deal with it.  I just hope the reasons for it will be made clear in the end.

Makes Me Feel Good When I'm Blue: Feeling Blue By Earth Wind And Fire

Sigh, I still feel stressed about this year's issue that really turned my world upside down.  Yet when the day comes, you have to get and do what you have to do.  It's like trying to work with a rock on top of your head.  I try my best to stay focus but sometimes I wish I had some quality time of my own where I can chill a bit and hopefully cheer up. A good song that helps me do that is "Are You Blue" by Earth, Wind And Fire.

This is another one of those songs who lyrics are sad yet the tune is uplifting.  When you worry about something or someone, it is so hard to focus.  Everything is oblivious to you and you want to just in your room with the lights turned and everything is quiet.  This is so because you just want to clear your head and chest of everything that's troubling you.  There are times when I do but l listen to this song which helps chase the blues away.

As comforting as it is, there are still things that need to be done.  I take a deep breath and get to the grind.  That issue that's been bugging me still hangs heavy but at least with a little chill time while listening to this song, it becomes a little bearable.  Despite that I believe things will be all right.  Just have to bear the blues for a while.
