So here we are... almost 15 days into the new year... and I realized that I did not share the song that brought me in to 2019!!
In the past, my end-of-the-year reflections have been focused on the previous year's occurrences, but this one is more about how my actions (i.e., getting out of debt once and for all) set me up for a brighter future ahead.
In fact, my Horoscope for December 31, 2018, was so lame and irrelevant that I selected my monthly Horoscope for January to document in my journal instead:
"Going into an ice cream shop or candy store that offers a wide variety of flavors can be mind boggling. Even if you have certain preferences, the colorful names and scrumptious ingredients could make the choice quite difficult. Sometimes having too many good things to choose from can make a decision much harder. That may be the dilemma you are faced with this month as you strive to make an important decision about your future. But keep it real and recognize that this is a really good 'problem' to have. If you look at it that way, it will be easier to come to the very best decision."
You better believe that I would take this problem of too many choices any day of the week over the scarcity mindset in which I have lived the majority of my life!!
Regardless, the song that welcomed me in to 2019 was "True Faith" by New Order. Even though the songwriter, Bernard Sumner, confirmed that this song is about drug dependency, one of my favorite things to do when I am pondering the meaning of a song is to browse through the comments on www.songmeanings.com to see if others have innovative thoughts about the lyrics. I am rarely disappointed as was the case when I came across the following interpretations:
"i can only interpret this song in a very personal manner. after a very bad childhood i feel extraordinary because i survived and my life now depends on MY day to day life (the morning sun) instead of what happened to me in the past.
for me it is a song of great hope."
and
"As much as anything, to me, this song is about growing up and trading away dreams for short-term happiness."
I did that... I grew up and traded so many dreams... I will never fall victim to that ever again!!!
Until next time...

I feel so extraordinary
Something's got a hold on me
I get this feeling I'm in motion
A sudden sense of liberty
I don't care 'cause I'm not there
And I don't care if I'm here tomorrow
Again and again I've taken too much
Of the things that cost you too much
I used to think that the day would never come
I'd see delight in the shade of the morning sun
My morning sun is the drug that brings me near
To the childhood I lost, replaced by fear
I used to think that the day would never come
That my life would depend on the morning sun
When I was a very small boy
Very small boys talked to me
Now that we've grown up together
They're afraid of what they see
That's the price that we all pay
And the value of destiny comes to nothing
I can't tell you where we're going
I guess there was just no way of knowing
I used to think that the day would never come
I'd see delight in the shade of the morning sun
My morning sun is the drug that brings me near
To the childhood I lost, replaced by fear
I used to think that the day would never come
That my life would depend on the morning sun
I feel so extraordinary
Something's got a hold on me
I get this feeling I'm in motion
A sudden sense of liberty
The chances are we've gone too far
You took my time and you took my money
Now I fear you've left me standing
In a world that's so demanding
I used to think that the day would never come
I'd see delight in the shade of the morning sun
My morning sun is the drug that brings me near
To the childhood I lost, replaced by fear
I used to think that the day would never come
That my life would depend on the morning sun
I used to think that the day would never come
I'd see delight in the shade of the morning sun
My morning sun is the drug that brings me near
To the childhood I lost, replaced by fear
I used to think that the day would never come
That my life would depend on the morning sun
