Every day – Filled with Life and Love
There is a song that starts the day in our house every morning, because the music/lyrics are rich and full!
When the music gets turned on the sound reverberates through the house (good sound system lol) It is played loud and everyone in our home stops what they are doing and we all join in the living room and all of us, from the youngest ones to the teenagers (Jordan and any friends staying over) and adults, (Christina and myself) we dance and sing all the way through. The scene is in a nightclub but it is the words in the chorus that we sing to and enjoy!
Nope, I‘m not making this up. In this household we have weathered extreme loss and a horrific storm that followed, it took years and a mighty battle raged here, through sickness, pain of loss, sadness, despair, anger, and now we’ve come through and we embrace each day. We haven’t forgotten, and we do remember, but now our todays are as filled with happiness as we can make them.
These are not just words being written. We are filled with life and love. Because we are young, each and every one of us. Think on this, if you will! Enjoy the weekend everyone. This is your life. Yours to live, love and be loved. Embrace it! Right Now!

By the way it’s the 46th Anniversary of Star Trek! Yay, you go Trekkies – Engage!
The Why About This 
That is a lovely picture of you there; and a cosy room tastefully done.
Thanks Celestine. Many thanks, Did you notice the books, we have many in several rooms. Both Christina and I are avid readers and now of course the children also! 🙂
I cannot think of a better way to start a day and that song is perfect! Penny, every time you and Christina write, I marvel at how your family has overcome such tremendous loss and still give so much back to all of us. Have an amazing Sunday! 🙂
Thank you LuAnn. From the heart. You too, have just the bestest Sunday ever, warm wishes and hugs to you both! Penny, 🙂
I am off to download that song 🙂
Excellent, isn’t it just great? 🙂
No, even better 🙂
I’m smiling Somesh, 🙂
I had heard this song in a bar ages ago, and by the end of it it was in my head but then I forgot it, possibly something to do with a few pints although I’m not sure, I liked it from the off, and interestingly Janelle Monáe was in an episode of Stargate Universe that I watched the other day. Although big love for the Star Trek universe too!
Very cool – yeah prob. the pints! Extra cool re: Stargate, also a fan! 🙂
Brilliant idea and, although we don’t do quite the same thing, every time this song comes on in our house, we all stop and sing very loudly too 🙂 It’s a great song.
Hi Dory, Great to see you here. Hoping all is well with everyone over there! It is a great song! 🙂
Beautiful post Penny , I love it 🙂
Thank you Jake, I appreciate you and your visit very much!:)
I need to get this song on my iPod!! 😀 Thanks for sharing!
…and totally coincidentally, I wore a Star Trek shirt to work today… it has Spock striking a gangsta pose… and it says “Trek Yourself Before You Wreck Yourself”
Awesome stuff 😀
Thanks Richard, it is a very cool song, and yes we really do all love that song here! 🙂 Re: Star Trek, See just like you mentioned the other day, you just seem to “know” things sometimes. 🙂
LOL!! I didn’t find out until I saw the Google animation earlier…
Hi Penny! I’m been so busy lately with school and all. But I see you keep on generating those amazing posts of yours haha. I love music, too and I often feel compelled to sing along (though usually off-pitch lol). And as in The Count of Monte Cristo, the deepest despair is followed by absolute happiness! 😀 Wonderful post.
Thanks Tina, I appreciate you taking the time from your busy schedule to visit with me, hows school going? 🙂
Off to a great start so far. It was nice to meet all of my friends again haha.
I agree, focus on the really important things! 🙂
Glamor you!
🙂 Thanks Alice, Well you can’t hear the kids arguing in the background, the dog barking also and the chaos that is pretty constant but doesn’t happen to show up in this photo, I used my webcam, but I had to do it quickly or would have spoiled the whole “glam” look. I think I had 3 seconds to set the timer, run to the sofa and look like, well like it looks 🙂
I’m thinking it took a lifetime to look so beautiful. Hooray for background din–keeps us humble.
Someone ruined this fantastic song for me for a while saying that it is about abuse 😦 – I still pump up the volume and LIVE!!! An anthem for the universe !!! woah
I think a song and it’s verses are for what we feel for them, interpretively speaking Lesley, so my rule of thumb, always is GO FOR IT! I agree with you, my friend 🙂
🙂
I love this song I heard it the first time with my daughter and we sang the chorus top of our lungs. Now I know we should listen to it more often and dance too! I would love to live at your house! LOL
Thanks Len, I agree a great song! Thank you I feel the same way lol! Oh yeah, I do! 🙂 Penny
Penny this is great , great atmosphere , really excellent post! Thank you
Thank you Stefan, I appreciate your words very much, 🙂
Reblogged this on Mondrak's Blog and commented:
Awesome post, great song. Listen to it a few times. 🙂
Oh I love that song…now when I hear it I will think of you and your wonderful family
Thanks. It’s for all families, yours too boomie, but I sincerely appreciate your thoughts regarding my wonderful family, enjoy yours this weekend my friend! Penny 🙂
That music is brilliant …. Love it 🙂 It is definitely the jump up and dance style (if you can jump up and dance lol) I tend to stagger up and stagger about – especially on a bad day lol
I have just brought this for my iPhone though, thank you for directing that to us. It is a great song. 😀
🙂
I just said to the kids “I brought a new song” Farrah said “what’s that” I put it on ♫bomm bomm bomm♫ Farrah “oooh that’s Fun I love that song” and then started singing it 😀
Of course she did, it is fun and full of life, just like herself! 🙂
Totally. So I played it from your page (my iPhone died :'() and we both sang along to it 😀 And she didn’t complain haha !Win! 😀
Yes! 🙂
The video has been removed due to a claim by Warner Music Group 😦
Thanks I’ll see what i can come up with! 🙂 phooey!
Yeah it ain’t fair. I was about to introduce it to some of my friends on the XBOX, so I have to charge up my iPhone first lol
It’s back, a different version but the official one so it might get to stay, No words but still, the music is there! 🙂
This is a pretty popular song and well protected, but thank you so much for the words here Mondrak, I appreciate this very much!
Before I start on the music – Google have a little play toy today to go with Star Trek 😀 And there is a new series of Star Trek being made – Around Captain Worf
Yeah I saw, how cool is that, re: Captain Worf! 🙂
Yeah I didn’t get much information, I saw it over someone’s shoulder on the bus lol
