this morning in my kitchen |
Birds flyin' high you know how I feel
Sun in the sky you know how I feel
Breeze driftin' on by you know how I feel . . .
Breeze driftin' on by you know how I feel . . .
It's a new dawn, it's a new day, it's a new life for me
It's a new dawn it's a new day, it's a new life for me . . .
It's a new dawn it's a new day, it's a new life for me . . .
And I'm feeling good.
Fish in the sea, you know how I feel
River runnin' free you know how I feel
Blossom on the tree you know how I feel . . .
River runnin' free you know how I feel
Blossom on the tree you know how I feel . . .
And I'm feelin' good.
Dragonfly out in the sun you know what I mean . . . don't you know?
Sleepin' peace when day is done -- that's what I mean
And this old world is a new world and a bold world for me . . .
And this old world is a new world and a bold world for me . . .
Stars when you shine you know how I feel . . .
Scent of the crime you know how I feel
Freedom is mine, and I know how I feel
It's a new dawn, it's a new day, it's a new life for me . . .
Oh, I'm feeling good.
~ As sung by Nina Simone
"They are new every morning; great is thy faithfulness." ~ Lamentations 3:23

That about sums up where I'm at this morning. Happy Wednesday to all.
Now playing on my mental iPod. . .and interestingly, what was playing on Harry's actual iPod when he walked in from his morning run. . . .
Here she is. . .Ms. Nina herself singing what my heart is feeling today and everyday.
Because every sunrise brings a new dawn, a new day, and a new life for me. And I'm feeling good.
This is my 8 year old's favorite song, bar none. Thanks for reminding me! I wonder if I should make him a 21st century version of our old mix tapes? :-)
