The Meaning Behind the Name

"Life's a happy song when there's someone by your side to sing along"

Around Thanksgiving time, I went with my friend Nicole and we saw The Muppets. The movie was very nostalgic for me, since I grew up watching The Muppets as a young kid and I have a very soft spot in my heart for musicals. It was that perfect, feel good movie and it really hit home for me seeing it. I instantly went and saw the movie again about a week later and have been listening to songs from the sountrack since. I'm not kidding, each time I hear the intro to the Muppets theme, I squeal like a little girl. It's just...these Muppets provide me with fun memories from when I was a young child, and I've loved these little guys ever since. I have a whole new level of respect for Jason Segel now, since he helped to bring these guys back. :) Plus, he was a breath of fresh air as an actor in the movie! Never knew he could sing!

I have been through a lot in my life...more than people really realize. I have struggled with finding myself as a person and I've been through personal struggles that I could have numerous posts on here. It's definitely not something I am proud of, but I think of the lyric in "Life's a Happy Song" from the movie

"I've got everything that I need right in front of me, nothing's stopping me, nothing that I can't be when you're right here next to me"

and I just can't help but smile and belt out the lyrics. I look back at where I was at in my life three years ago and am entirely thankful to still be here today. There are many challenges that life will throw our way, and I am so thankful that I am still here today.

So yeah, deep thought for the day, but hey, 'life's a happy song when there's someone by your side to sing along', right?

Much love,

Annie
