I found this song quite by accident. I thought it was a nice song to get your groove on while reminding yourself to take time to enjoy life and everything in it. Listen to the song, read the lyrics, see if it doesn’t remind you to celebrate life.
Lyrics, Enjoy
by Janet Jackson
Album 20 Year’s Old (20 YO)
Wake up 7 am
Bout time we do it again
Sushine today
I better make plans
Cause it rained yesterday
But that was ok
Cant complain
I love it either way
Living every day like it’s my last
I refuse to be stuck in the past
People actin like machines
Cause they’re scared to live their dreams
No not me
I just enjoy and celebrate
Enjoy the love we make
Enjoy, appreciate
Enjoy
Just keep on doing it
‘Til my hearts content
And enjoy when someone smiles
Enjoy
So just enjoy the simple things
Enjoy the day life brings
Enjoy the song love sings
Enjoy
Just keep on doing it
‘Til your hearts content
And enjoy the gift of life
Enjoy
If you wanna find the paradise
Do it now never too late to try
Lose your inhibitions
Let your inspiration set you free
And just enjoy and celebrate
Enjoy the love we make
Enjoy, appreciate
Enjoy
Just keep on doing it
‘Til my hearts content
And enjoy when someone smiles
Enjoy
So let’s enjoy the simple things
Enjoy the day life brings
Enjoy the song love sings
Enjoy
Just keep on doing it
‘Til your hearts content
And enjoy the gift of life
Enjoy
And the people say
Enjoy la la la la la [Repeat]
I just enjoy and celebrate
Enjoy the love we make
Enjoy, appreciate
Enjoy
Just keep on doing it
‘Til my hearts content
And enjoy when someone smiles
Enjoy
So just enjoy the simple things
Enjoy the day life brings
Enjoy the song love sings
Enjoy
Just keep on doing it
‘Til your hearts content
And enjoy the gift of life
Enjoy
Enjoy la la la la la [Repeat]

For anytime someone says something hurtful,
for anytime you are accused of something you never did or would never do,
for anytime you are in agony over a betrayal,
or just heard gossip about you
or was just made fun of…
for someone who hurts,
for someone who needs to withstand the daggers and the barbs,
just remember who you are – “you are beautiful in every single way.”
Try not to let the words they attempt to throw on you bring you down. They cannot define you.
Stand. I hope this helps.
Lyrics: Beautiful, by Christina Aguilera
Spoken:
Don’t look at me
Every day is so wonderful
And suddenly, i saw debris
Now and then, I get insecure
From all the pain, I’m so ashamed
I am beautiful no matter what they say
Words can’t bring me down
I am beautiful in every single way
Yes, words can’t bring me down
So don’t you bring me down today
To all your friends, you’re delirious
So consumed in all your doom
Trying hard to fill the emptiness
The piece is gone left the puzzle undone
That’s the way it is
You are beautiful no matter what they say
Words can’t bring you down
You are beautiful in every single way
Yes, words can’t bring you down
Don’t you bring me down today…
No matter what we do
(no matter what we do)
No matter what they say
(no matter what they say)
When the sun is shining through
Then the clouds won’t stay
And everywhere we go
(everywhere we go)
The sun won’t always shine
(sun won’t always shine)
But tomorrow will find a way
All the other times
’cause we are beautiful no matter what they say
Yes, words won’t bring us down, oh no
We are beautiful in every single way
Yes, words can’t bring us down
Don’t you bring me down today
Don’t you bring me down today
Don’t you bring me down today

This is a great little song that probably got a little overplayed on the Apple TV commercial, but it’s still a goodie and I thought a perfect happy song for my birthday. It’s all about living, making mistakes and still learning, absorbing, failing, thriving while still enjoying the journey.
Lyrics: New Soul
I’m a new soul
I came to this strange world
Hoping I could learn a bit bout how to give and take.
But since I came here,
Felt the joy and the fear
Finding myself making every possible mistake
la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la…
I’m a young soul
In this very strange world
Hoping I could learn a bit bout what is true and fake
But why all this hate?
Try to communicate
Finding trust and love is not always easy to make
la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la…
This is a happy end
‘Cause you don’t understand
Everything you have done
Why’s everything so wrong?
This is a happy end
Come and give me your hand
I’ll take you far away
I’m a new soul
I came to this strange world
Hoping I could learn a bit bout how to give and take.
But since I came here,
Felt the joy and the fear
Finding myself making every possible mistake
I’m a new soul… (la, la, la, la,…)
In this very strange world…
Every possible mistake
Possible mistake
Every possible mistake
Mistakes, mistakes, mistakes…
Take take take take take… take a mistake
Take, take a mistake
Take, take a mistake
(oh oh oh oh…)
[fade out]
(oh oh oh oh…)
To Hear: The Time Of My Life

American Idol’s David Cook just released his new song, The Time Of My Life.
If you ever need a theme song to waltz to, or rock to keeping your arms open wide, living out loud, embracing who you are and what you are here to do….well, this is it.
David Cook
The Time Of My Life
Lyrics
I’ve been waiting for my dreams
To turn into something
I could believe in
And looking for that
Magic rainbow
On the horizon
I couldn’t see it
Until I let go
Gave into love and watched all the bitterness burn
Now I’m coming alive
Body and soul
And feelin’ my world start to turn
And I’ll taste every moment
And live it out loud
I know this is the time,
This is the time
To be more than a name
Or a face in the crowd
I know this is the time
This is the time of my life
Time of my life
Holding onto things that vanished
Into the air
Left me in pieces
But now I’m rising from the ashes
Finding my wings
And all that I needed
Was there all along
Within my reach
As close as the beat of my heart
So I’ll taste every moment
And live it out loud
I know this is the time,
This is the time to be
More than a name
Or a face in the crowd
I know this is the time
This is the time of my life
Time of my life
And I’m out on the edge of forever
Ready to run
I’m keeping my feet on the ground
My arms open wide
My face to the sun
I’ll taste every moment
And live it out loud
I know this is the time,
This is the time to be
More than a name
Or a face in the crowd
I know this is the time
This is the time of my life
Time of my life
More than a name
Or a face in the crowd
This is the time
This is the time of my life.
This is the time of my life 
Won’t Let You Down

I know this song is meant for a friend, from a friend. But, when you really beating yourself up over something you’ve done, not done, or ignored doing, try listening to this song as if you are dedicating it to yourself.
Because really, the best friend you can ever have that will never leave is…yourself.
Be there.
