Song of the Day September 13, 2008

 

 

 

For those who really know me, are aware of the fact that I have, hundreds of CD’s in my collection. 

I have 4,638 songs on my IPOD and that total will grow each and every week until it is full. 

So…while I do not consider myself as expert on music.  I do know a good song when I hear one.

So as a record of my love of music, I will post a song of the day as often as I can. 

You may, or may not, like the artist or the song.   You may not even like the style of music.

I like just about anything…however, I am a sucker for Motown and the Beatles. 

I encourage you to find the song on ITUNES and give a listen if you do not have it in your collection. BUY the music…don’t steal it. I would also challenge you to click on any links I leave.  I will link it to YouTube if there is one.

You will discover a lot of music that you may love forever.

Feel free to comment and share your approval or disgust.  I challenge you!!!

Either way… this is my post and I will share the music that I love. At times I will even share “why” it’s the song of the day.

What song is my first on my “SONG OF THE DAY” post?

“MY GIRL” by the TEMPTATIONS.

A very special song…for me.

I think, without a doubt, would have my vote for the best POP song ever. 

But then again, maybe it’s just me.

Born a Butthead…Continued.

Maybe it’s just me…

But do you realize that the “legacy” you leave behind has already begun?

 In my last post, I shared about a fear of having friends and family say less than good things about us when we pass on.  I am sure nobody wants our tombstone to say:

Here lies _____________

“Born a Butthead…Lived a Butthead’s Life and Died a Butthead.” 

 Each and everyday we leave a lasting impression on the people we love…our spouse, our children and grandchildren, our friends and co-workers.  

We leave a legacy of:   

• Love

• Hate

• Neglect 

• Commitment

• Pride

• Attitude

• Lack of Love

• Work Ethic

• Inconsistency

• Judgemental Spirit

• Mediocrity

• Disobedience 

• Jealousy

• Anger 

We leave these traits, good or bad, in our home, church, school or college.  It is left at our workplace and within our circle of friends.  It is evident in the way we “win” or “lose” when we play a game.  It is seen on the golf course , the gym and the bowling alley.  What we do in public and what we do in the privacy of our homes is equally as important.  We are continually passing on our “legacy” each and every day.  It never stops until our time on earth is done. 

What will be your legacy?  What will you leave behind?  What footprints have you left for your children to follow?  What will your grandchildren know about you?

Despite of any failures and mistakes that we have had in our life, the challenge for all of us, is to commit to a legacy that is honorable for the rest of our lives.

I think it is one of the most important things you can do.

Your Legacy depends on it…

But then again, maybe it’s just me.
