Man I feel overwhelmed with raising our kids in today's society. So much bad in the world and it's easy to get someone down. I find myself getting grumpy when things get tough and then that rubs off on to my children especially my oldest, Tayci. I got sick of feeling this way and having my kids feel this way and couldn't figure out what to do. Then one day I heard Colbie Caillat's song "Think Good Thoughts." It was awesome and had such a great beat! I decided then and there that this would be our Family Theme and Song!
"Think Good Thoughts"
There's no using in delaying,
I'm tired of the angry hanging out inside me,
So I'll quiet down the devil,
I'm gonna knock him with a shovel,
And I'll bury all my troubles underneath the rubble
When I'm alone in my dark dark room,
I have to tell myself to,
Think good thoughts,
Think good thoughts,
Imagine what the world would be if we would just,
Think good thoughts,
Stop the bad from feeding,
I won't let the negativity turn me into my enemy,
Promise to myself that I won't let it get the best of me,
That's how I want to be
Na, na, na, na
I'm not saying that it's easy,
Especially when I'm moody,
I might be cursing like a sailor till I remind myself I'm better,
Cause words can be like weapons,
Oh and you use them, you regret them,
Oh but I'm not gonna let them take away my heaven
And when I start feeling blue,
I remember to tell myself to,
Think good thoughts,
Think good thoughts,
Imagine what the world would be if we would just,
Think good thoughts,
Stop the bad from feeding,
I won't let the negativity turn me into my enemy,
Promise to myself that I won't let it get the best of me,
That's how I want to be
I just think rain on a summer night,
Stars filling up the sky,
Sunshining on my face,
Making a secret wish,
Finding my happiness,
That always makes me hold my head up high,
I wanna hold my head up high,
I wanna think good thoughts (Imagine what the world would be if we would just think good thoughts)
I wanna think good thoughts (wouldn't that be something?)
I won't let the negativity turn me into my enemy,
Promise to myself that I won't let it get the best of me,
That's how I want to be
Na, na, na, na
Needless to say that Tayci event though I know she secretly loves it, continually rolls her eyes at me each morning as I play it when the get ready and head off to school. She will thank me some day and it makes my day go better!
I still need you to send me a burned copy of this CD. I always associate Colbie with you guys. "Goober has it" and all. So when do you think you will be coming back to UT? WIll i have time to come out one last time? I don't know if I will have money, but I keep toying with the idea. So let me know
ReplyDeleteI am trying to find my cd's to burn this and the pics but I don't know where I put them. You will have plenty of time to come out. We will be here till probably mid Feb. We are trying to get to Disney World around Christmas. We are going to Atlanta in October and I want to go to Mobile AL. I am sick of sitting around and I am sure I can do these for cheap (somewhat)
