Welcome to the Sunday edition of Monday’s Music Moves Me! This week’s prompt is whatever music moves you. As I prepared my song list, it dawned on me today is the anniversary of one of the worse days in America history. It’s a day we should never forget, but I think we need to fill our hearts, our lives, our world with hope. I felt inspired to picks songs that make you look to the brighter side with my 10-song playlist.
To see the brighter side of life can be as simple as waking to a new day. The rising sun fills the senses almost like a magical spell casting inner peace. Sharing life with another person at your side to hurdle stormy weather together helps to throw aside the dark clouds. Other times, getting to the brighter side might come from finally being fed up with beating oneself up or having others to do it before realizing enough is enough while championing one’s way toward his/her goals. Someone told me long ago, if you want others to believe in you that you have to believe in yourself first. See the beauty in you, see the beauty in our world, never stop believin’, dream on til your dreams come true!
I clipped portions of each song that inspires to help push the gloom away so the beauty of the day can shine forth.

And clouds of white
