Looking Forward Looking Back
2014 was an amazing adventure and the calendar in my kitchen had some quotable quotes, my favorite of which is this one;
Don’t ask for an easier life, ask to be a stronger person.
This month the snarky little calendar had this to say
Take nothing for granted have only good days or great days
My voice and music may not change the world, but if I can inspire even one person, in the length of one song to feel something positive, something authentic, I am good with that. The moments spent flailing about, lost in the music in front of you kind folks, are the keepers. Thank you for all of it.
Happy Holidays!
– KJ
One Day
One day I told my self I would
Do everything I thought I should
Good for you and good for me
What happened next I really didn’t see
