[...] Posted July 30, 2014 Share Posted July 30, 2014 Today I'm celebrating my jump day! I've been compiling a YouTube playlist of songs that really speak to me during these difficult times. I play them regularly and listen closely to the words. They help lift me up during those wound-licking days, and motivate me to get up and do more. Maybe they can help you too. Do you have any special songs you'd care to share? Help me grow my playlist and let's all start our days off feeling comforted, motivated and inspired. I'll start with my first ... Shania Twain "Today is Your Day" "You've got what it takes, you can win Today is your day to begin Don't give up here, don't you quit The moment is now, this is it Know that you can, then you will Get to the top of the hill ..."
