255 : Be Brave

I think I have a new anthem.  I'm not sure if this is new to the world really or just new to me.  Cut me some slack already, I'm a single mom who works full time.  I can't keep up with what's popular with the kids on the radio these days.  So perhaps I'm late to this party.  But it seemed like everywhere I turned lately, I would find Sara Bareilles.  A friend had given me a CD compilation with some of her music on there.  And then I saw her on Chelsea Lately.  Finally, just last weekend she was on a segment on my favorite weekend program: CBS Sunday Morning.  It was all about her new song, Brave.  I had heard parts of the song before but something about watching the story that Sunday morning gave me goosebumps.  The song almost made me feel like I was going to cry.  And I'm not talking a sad cry, either.  I'm talking a powerful, feel good cry.  It was inspirational in all the right ways.  I had to buy it that day.  It was good to have a new anthem with such positive undertones as I began the new year.  Just a year ago I was getting really really wasted (see post #5) and singing Taylor Swift at the top of my lungs (see post #10) not that there was anything wrong with that but...things were different now.  I loved this song.
