Birthday Month Shuffle - 7th Edition Day 14

Working off my iPad so not able to embed videos, but I fixed yesterday’s link... thanks Betty..!

I’ve been thinking a lot about my mother these last couple of days.  My cousin/brother insists that he’s being visited by a ghost; might be her, might not be.  I only sometimes see her in my dreams.  Guess because I’ve been thinking about traveling and summertime was always about planning the next big trip with Momma.  So today I thought I would share a post from November’s NaBloPoMo in which I shared videos I’ve made about some travels... and they’re songs from my iPod, so bonus!

Enjoy... https://caldreamsquirrel.blogspot.com/2018/11/nablopomo-2018-day-13.html

NaBloPoMo 2018 - Day 13

Music has always been an important part of my life.
I can't remember a time when I didn't have one song or other playing
somewhere in the background.
Ask me about the guy, and I'll tell you the song attached to him.
Ask me about the trip, and I'll give you the soundtrack.
Cycling soundtrack - 190 songs, 12hrs32min

As I get older, certain songs begin to hold more meaning.
Kinda like the song "I Lived" by One Republic.

"I, I did it all.
I owned every second that this world could give,
saw so many places, the things that I did.
Yeah with every broken bone, I swear I lived."

My trip with my mother to Alaska was all about enjoying as much time as we
could together because she was dying of kidney failure.
It also was trying to fit in all the National Parks I could
and enjoying the splendor of Alaska.

That trip was on par with a road trip my husband and I did to Big Sky..
and we also managed to see multiple National Parks along the way.


The soundtrack to that trip was "Good to Be Alive" by Jason Gray

"Hold on

Is this really the life I'm living?

'Cause I don't feel like I deserve it

Every day that I wake, every breath that I take you’ve given

So right here, right now

While the sun is shining down

I wanna live like there's no tomorrow

Love like I'm on borrowed time

It's good to be alive, yeah"

Wonder what the next great adventure will be...

And, what song will be the soundtrack to it...

MyPod Birthday Shuffle IV - Day 28 - Come Home

This is my faithful Jeep Cherokee

that carried us over the last 8 days

over 3000 miles.

What a trip!

And, this is the final bridge that we cross

which is only about 5 miles away from home...

It's always good to be home...
