If You Want to Sing Out, Sing Out

So many options….so many choices…so many opportunities,
so many ways one might choose to “be”
so many directions one might choose to go
so many things one might choose to do
a million different choices,
a million different ways…
the opportunity is on
we can each choose our own way

So many options….so many choices…so many opportunities
“if you want to say yes, say yes…
if you want to say no, say no…
there’s a million ways to go,
you know that there are….”

There are so many positive choices…
so many options, choices, opportunities and directions one might choose,
we know that there are…

Butterflies in the heart and mind…
a post from my birthday…an aspiration…a wish…
“A Heartfelt wish…the gifts of kindness….”

I think the song and lyrics are wonderful, too….hoping to get some inspirational energy, too! And perhaps others get an “energy boost,” too… 😀
(I even “double dosed” with these ideas… I added it to a “joyful effort” post over on Reflections http://reflectionsfromafriend.wordpress.com/2012/11/27/112712-with-joyful-effort-we-can-make-the-most-of-opportunities-that-arise/ )

There is a “child-like” quality to the lyrics, melody and presentation…I wondered if it might have been written with children in mind, so googled it… all I can find is that it was part of the soundtrack of Harold and Maude….what a great movie…perfect with the song! And yes, we sure could benefit from more fun! 😀 …. let’s go find some…millions of ways! 😀

I found it lightened me up, too….which then reminded me of “dancing brightly”…which then led to updating some of the “dancing brightly” pages and post….oh, the power of suggestion and stream of consciousness…. ah, to lighten up! 😀 Ongoing thanks to you, Marie… for offering so much inspiration and encouragement…. 😀 So many choices, so many opportunities… isn’t it amazing?

Aren’t the ideas in his songs so inspirational? Previously, I had thought of this particular song as simply playful, but then realized there’s lots of wisdom within it… happy you enjoyed the ideas too!
