This year I heard one song that stood out and inspired me to make some changes and to work on my creative endeavors, This year I chose One Less Day (Dying Young) from Rob Thomas. I am ready to create again and build new things. I am one less day fro dying young. True words :

'm not afraid of getting older

I'm one less day from dying young

I see the light go past my shoulder I'm one less day from dying young

I see my life like a train with a one-way track

I've made mistakes, and I couldn't take 'em back

And I've been runnin' 'round in circles 'til I'm dizzy, I can't lie

But every night I go to sleep's a day that I survive

I'm not afraid of getting older

I'm one less day from dying young

I see the light go past my shoulder

I'm one less day from dying young

And I've seen my friends fall away before their time

And I've been afraid that I may follow in their light

So I drink and love and whisper all the things I know are right

Someday, I will leave this world, but maybe not tonight

I'm not afraid (I'm not afraid) of getting older

I'm one less day (I'm one less day) from dying young

I see the light (I see the light) go past my shoulder

I'm one less day (I'm one less day) from dying young

I'm one less day (I'm one less day) from dying young (yeah!)

All my life I have been wandering

Burning up my candle like my time just won't end

And I'll keep burning 'til there's nothing left

Praying that tomorrow I can do it all again

And if I get tomorrow, I will do it all again

I'm not afraid of getting older

I'm one less day from dying young

And I see the light go past my shoulder

I'm one less day from dying young

I'm not afraid (I'm not afraid) of getting older

I'm one less day (I'm one less day) from dying young (from dying young)

I see the light (I see the light) go past my shoulder

I'm one less day (I'm one less day) from dying young (from dying young!)

I'm one less day (I'm one less day) from dying young (from dying young!)

Hey!

I have also set up a playlist on Spotify....
