To Be Happy Now - Oct 21





I picked these pictures this week because they are three images that really stood out to me this week. The top picture is a one of the Boston Harbor at sunset, I drove over the Mass Ave bridge and marvelled at this amazing scene. The 2nd picture is a picture of my church, the Basilica of Our Lady Of Perpetual Hope, viewed from this local park. I go up here to think and listen to music and this image will always stick with me. The 3rd picture really struck me hard today as I travelled on the T from Back Bay to Jackson Square on the Orange Line. It spoke to me because it is something that many of us struggle with on a daily basis and I was so shocked to see this in the liberal and anti-Christian city that I am currently calling home.
Pictures to me do not just say a thousand words as the expression goes, but also they freeze time allowing me to go back and always remember all the amazing things I have done, places I have been and people with whom I have been. Pictures are gratitude, they are my memories, they are my inspiration.
I hope enjoy my random selection of songs this week:


1. Copeland - Grey man http://www.purevolume.com/copeland
Copeland's new album You Are My sunshine, is quite amazing. this song is great as well as a a song called To be Happy now, which is the source of inspiration for this post. I could not find that song anywhere but on Itunes however.
