Today is a gift! It’s so easy to get caught up in the thick of thin things with so much vying for our attention. Taking a break and recharging with those we love, may be just what we need TODAY!

Life is precious… and we never know how long we will have with those we love.

I wrote this song during Covid. It was a time that forced all of us to slow down and take an inventory of what really matters most in life! It was a difficult time for many people. I lost my mom during that time. I am so grateful for the time I was blessed to have with her doing things that were not urgent – just meaningful. She was the kind of mom that would pull over in the Autumn, at the sight of a big pile of leaves, just to jump in and play! She was a hard worker, and always had a busy schedule, but she made time to enjoy nature and create special, family memories together.

You have likely found, like we have, that a recipe for a happy family is WORK HARD/PLAY HARD and ENJOY THE JOURNEY! These motto’s help bridge differences and bring us together to create sweet memories that can sustain us during the hard times.❤️

I hope this song brings smiles and can be a reminder of what truly matters most!

Lyrics

Verse 1:

Oh I could be

Running around getting things done

So much needs my attention

And that list seems to grow and grow

But out my window

I see the beautiful sunshine

And I just want it to be mine

While this time is still my own

Chorus:

I want just this beautiful day with you

Doing the things that we love to do just

Keeping the sweet simple things in life

On the forefront of my mind

So let’s not let this beautiful day slip by

Doing the things that just waste our time

When memories we could be making are       

the sweetest joys in life

I want just this beautiful day

Verse 2:

We could hike that

Trail that we’ve wanted to climb

But never managed to find time

And let the view just take us back

Or bring a picnic

to our favorite hideaway

And let it soak up the whole day

Finally feel the air we breathe

Chorus:

I want just this beautiful day with you

Doing the things that we love to do just

Keeping the sweet simple things in life

On the forefront of my mind

So let’s not let this beautiful day slip by

Doing the things that just waste our time

When memories we could be making are       

the sweetest joys in life

I want just this beautiful day

Bridge:

Spinning plates just isn’t living

Is all we’ve gained worth what we’re missing

So come and take a day away with me

Chorus:

Having just this beautiful day with you

Doing the things that we love to do just

Keeping the sweet simple things in life

On the forefront of my mind

So let’s not let this beautiful day slip by

Doing the things that just waste our time

When memories we could be making are       

the sweetest joys in life

I want just this beautiful day

Ending:

I want just this beautiful day

I want just this beautiful day

Just this beautiful day
