Living {in} the Moment

I am so in love with Jason Mraz's new album Love is a Four Letter Word. 

As distracted as I am by his recent Fragglerock hair"do" {I'm sorry, Jason, it's just out of control}, I am seriously in love with every song I've heard from this album so far.

I don't actually own this album...yet.

I just keep hearing his new singles, track by track on Pandora radio.

You'll be hard pressed to find me anywhere without some kind of music playing - be it at home with the speakers up and the windows open, in my car belting out tunes like I was auditioning for American Idol, or with headphones pluged in one ear and headset on the other while I'm at work.
(I even put speakers in the bathroom so I could sing in stereo in the shower!)

You see, music makes my world go 'round.

The song that just popped up is absolutely no exception. 

I've been having a really, really hard time lately dealing with the what-if's, maybes, and wishes that shoulda, coulda, woulda, mighta been......

It's a daily struggle for me lately to trust and let it be.

This song is the musical interpretation of the prayers I have been praying for weeks now.

It's another God-send. 

A reminder to forgive myself, accept that there is a plan for me, be greatful for all that I have in my life and not fill myself with anxiety about what I think is missing.

 I have a life FILLED with incredible people, experiences, and things {lots of things}. 

I love when lyrics get in your head and touch your heart.

If you haven't heard this song, let me share it. 

I'll even do you a solid and post the lyrics below. 

If this life is one act
Why do we lay all these traps?
We put them right in our path
When we just wanna be free

I will not waste my days
Making up all kinds of ways
To worry about all the things
That will not happen to me

So I just let go of what I know I don't know
And I know I'll only do this by
Living in the moment
Living our life
Easy and breezy
With peace in my mind
With peace in my heart
Peace in my soul
Wherever I'm going, I'm already home
Living in the moment

I'm letting myself off the hook for things I've done
I let my past go past
And now I'm having more fun
I'm letting go of the thoughts
That do not make me strong
And I believe this way can be the same for everyone

And if I fall asleep
I know you'll be the one who'll always remind me
To live in the moment
To live my life
Easy and breezy
With peace in my mind
With peace in my heart
Got peace in my soul
Wherever I'm going, I'm already home

I can't walk through life facing backwards
I have tried
I tried more than once to just make sure
And I was denied the future I'd been searching for
But I spun around and hurt no more
By living in the moment
Living my life
Easy and breezy
With peace in my mind
With peace in my heart
Got peace in my soul
Wherever I'm going, I'm already home

I'm living in the moment
I'm living my life
Just taking it easy
With peace in my mind
Got peace in my heart
Got peace in my soul
Oh, wherever I'm going, I'm already home

I'm living in the moment
I'm living my life
Oh, easy and breezy
With peace in my mind
Peace in my heart
Peace in my soul
Wherever I'm going, I'm already home
I'm living in the moment

This is actually the fourth post I've written on a song from this album in the last three weeks.
