The song, Shut Up & Dance with Me, has strangely been running through my mind – all evening – during the night – first thing when I woke up. George & I heard the song at Walmart and commented on it. I certainly didn’t expect it to still be with me today, but it is. It made me realize how quickly and how thoughtlessly something can slip into your mind and then stay there, whether you really want it to or not. This past week, with all the news over the assassination of Charlie Kirk and other acts of violence, I’ve heard countless reports, dozens of stories, and seen many videos. And, I haven’t even “searched” for these. They’ve just appeared, kind of like the song at Walmart. I didn’t seek the information; it was just out there, and I caught it.
This morning, as I was doing my Bible Study and Prayer time, I realized that I should be more aware of my surroundings, of what I am allowing into my airspace, and of what could potentially wake me up in the middle of the night on repeat.
I would much rather have an encouraging scripture, quote, or praise song running through my thoughts, and to be honest, that song may be even better than a lot of last week’s options.
Today I will be mindful. I will seek out positive thoughts, and I will repeat what I want repeated.
So, Shut Up & Dance with Me! Smiles to you!
