Anyway, finishing up the dishes, and I knocked over my whole glass of water that I was going to take up with me. But lately I've realized that life is to short to get worked up about the little things. And for some reason that glass of water reminded me that I had a few cups upstairs I needed to bring down. So I ran up to get them.
Coming from Evan's room was the sound of "40" by U2. I recently made a CD for him of "quiet" U2 music for him to fall asleep by. He really loves it. And by quiet U2, it is songs like "One", "Walk On", "The Sweetest Thing" and "40"
"40" is the last song on the CD and lately for some reason, I have found it very comforting hearing it at night quietly coming from his room before I go to bed. I don't know if you have ever listened to it, but it's short and mellow. It was the song that won me over to U2 for life. The song that ended the first U2 concert I went to back in fall of 1988 when I was a junior in high school. The Joshua Tree tour. It was so amazing to be in that crowd singing along. The Arena had to turn the lights up and blast music to break us up and get us to finally stop us singing long after the band had left the stage. I'll never, ever forget it :0)
So as I came upstairs, I heard it playing and just had to stop, take a minute in my busy day and listen. I have such a new appreciation for that song these days.
And speaking of U2, I scrapped a layout using this photo the other night. I will try to photograph it and post it tomorrow. I edited the photo a bit so the only color is Bono's green guitar. My favorite guitar :0) It was a fun, very simple layout that is going in my personal, Ireland album.Well, that's enough rambling for tonight. Off to bed.
