In the last days of this decade, my reflections are mixed with deep gratitude, tinges of sadness, a strong sense of purpose, continued optimism and immense joy.
Hard to express as thoughts and emotions are not linear; and are to be experienced and shared.
Easier to share below with a lyrics mash-up of Happier by Marshmello and Memories by Maroon 5 as I look forward to 2020 filled with meaningful days ahead as we contribute positive to the others around us. Learning, teaching, leading, following, growing, coaching, living and just being as I PLAY it forward.
Lately, I've been, I've been thinking
I want you to be happier, I want you to be happier
Toast to the ones here today
Toast to the ones that we lost on the way
'Cause the drinks bring back all the memories
And the memories bring back, memories bring back you
Then only for a minute
I want to change my mind
'Cause this just don't feel right to me
I wanna raise your spirits
Now my heart feel like an ember
and it's lighting up the dark
I'll carry these torches for ya
that you know I'll never drop, yeah
Lately, I've been, I've been thinking
I want you to be happier, I want you to be happier
Even though I might not like this
I think that you'll be happier, I want you to be happier
Everybody hurts sometimes
Everybody hurts someday, aye aye
But everything gon' be alright
Go and raise a glass and say, aye
Aye!
