This has been an odd night... I am acutely aware that grief is a process that comes in waves and some moments I'm up and others I'm down... at the present moment I am up... I'm currently listening to Shakira's Hips Don't Lie over and over again... it's a great song that makes you want to dance and if you've ever seen the video all you can think of is trying to imitate how she's dancing... like I said in the previous post, music moves me, and this is the first time I've popped this CD in since Chris died... up until this summer's pilgrimage to Denver I had never intentionally listened to her music... I'm not that trendy... I'm a mommy who knows all of the words to The Wheels on the Bus and I can name all of the Wiggles... I hadn't listened to Top 40 music in a long long time but I couldn't help but dance when I heard my sister play this song... she's got DVR and had recorded a countdown on VH1 where this song had made the list and she loved watching the video... she got me hooked and I bought the album that day... when I got back to Dallas I put it in and listened to it when I'm cleaning, doing laundry, the dishes, in the shower, just about anytime when other kids aren't here... I loved it so much that I badgered the girl at my old gym to get it so we could listen to it with all of the other music she'd play during our workouts... this is exactly what I need to get back into my groove...
