Grestest Sing-Along Ever?

As I was going over morning routines for the Fetch blog…it got me wondering….what are the best sing-along songs ever made? You know, those songs you just can’t get out of your mind and you have to see along with in the car, shower, wherever. Here’s some of my top favorites…

#4 Men at Work – “I Come From a Land Down Under” (Not even sure if that’s the title, but I’m always singing it.)

#3 Josh Grobin – “You Raise Me Up” Come on, like you haven’t tried singing that song in the shower on a few occasions.

#2 Lionel Ritchie – “Easy Like Sunday Morning” This song has to be on the top playlists for elevators and grocery stores. I love it for some reason, even though Sundays are hardly easy for me.

#1 The Police – “Roxanne” Okay, yes, not the best message behind a song…I didn’t choose it, it chose me, can’t get the song out of my mind.

So that’s some of mine….what would you say, are the greatest sing-alongs?

So Long Friend.

No real reason for this post.  Just a picture of my favorite Starbucks in town.  You will be missed my friend.

Fetch.

8:15a.m – Wake-Up.

8:35a.m – Get the coffee going

8:45a.m – See a glimpse of joy.

Everyday I wake up and play the same game of fetch with my dog, over and over again. Now most mornings I think nothing of it, but this morning I happened to notice something I often miss, that look of pure joy. See it amazes me that not only does my dog never tire of this game, it literally is the highlight of his day. What to me is often times a chore, is pure joy and entertainment to him. In fact, the more I took the time to bounce his tennis ball for him, the more bounce he seemed to get in his step. Which got me thinking…what is my tennis ball? What are the small moments or objects in my day that put a bounce in my step?

I think for me it’s that first cup of coffee in the day…it never seems to taste as good as the first cup. It’s singing along to Lionel Ritchie (As if you’ve never found yourself singing along to “Easy Like Sunday Morning”…a classic). It’s grabbing a Brown Sugar Pop Tart on my way out (the greatest breakfast pastry ever made). It’s unplugging from the noise if but a for a few minutes to be with God. It’s having my wife give me a kiss before we start our day. Small routines that add such a big bounce to my step. What is the tennis ball in your life, that thing that when you throw yourself into it, it brings back to you a sense of joy? In other words, what gets you going in a day?
