Escape (The Pina Colada Song)
As everyone is aware, the best genre of music you can find is yacht rock. Don’t fight me on this, you will lose the argument. I was listening to a Spotify playlist called Yacht Rock | Top 100 Songs while I cleaned my house today and this dumb song came on —» Escape (The Pina Colada Song).
I’ve heard it a million times, it has a catchy tune but the lyrics are super lame. If you weren’t alive in the 70s or 80s, you may not understand some of it. That’s ok. The point is, this guy wanted to escape his relationship. I don’t want to spoil the song for you, but SPOILER ALERT he ends up with the same woman.
I’ve had this song in my head since it came on and now I can’t think of anything else. Lately, I’ve found it difficult to think clearly. As I mentioned in previous Stacks, I’ve been sick for a few months, then last week I found myself with a cold that was creeping to a sinus infection and bronchitis. I was also caring for my two dogs after procedures at the vet.
My thoughts have been all over the map. Escaping sounds nice, but not in the way the guy does in the song….. can you see how my brain just won’t stay focused?! It’s a real problem.
Anyway, I was dusting and pondering what my favorite Kenny Loggins song is (hands down, This Is It), while also trying to decide what to share this week and I hear, “this is it! Your back’s to the corner. Don’t be a fool anymore.”
I wondered if this was the Holy Spirit talking to me, clearly not! This is when I realized I may need to reduce the dosage of some of the supplements I’m taking, my brain function is clearly impaired.
All joking aside, my thoughts have been jumbled as I’ve pushed myself to my limits with chronic work stress, which I believe contributed to a weak immune system. If you’ve read my previous posts, you know I’m honest about feeling lonely, and don’t feel supported. There’s much to say about this, but not much to say when my brain is jumbled.
Friday was my first trauma release session with my naturopath. He incorporates acupuncture and visualization for trauma release. I was hesitant and didn’t know what to expect beforehand. We’ve all experienced trauma in various ways. Our body can store the memories and block energy flow, there’s a lot of data on this.
I plan to share my experience with trauma release after I’ve had another session or two, and time to fully process how this works for me. Being vulnerable here has been a challenge, there are many things I’d like to share but I’m unable to.
For now, let’s think of Bill Whithers and focus on the lyrics of Lovely Day.
It’s much easier to focus on the distractions, than the real emotions, isn’t it?
