Lullaby

I am writing a lullaby.
Am I making a children's album, you might ask?
Well, no.
Not yet.
Not today, at least.
Someday soon, perhaps.

But as for this lullaby, here's the deal.
This song has been spinning around in my head for months.
I only call it a lullaby because it does 2 things: it's pleasant and it soothes me.
Now, the actual definition of a lullaby is: a quiet, gentle song sung to send a child to sleep.
Well, I'm not trying to fall asleep and I'm not a child.
But, I do sing this to myself when I just need to calm the nerves a little bit or just need a little reminder that the world is a good place.

I think that adults NEED lullabies. We need a song every now and then just to say "Shhhhh, you're just fine. Take a breath. You're gonna be okay."
Especially today. There's not a lot of lulling going on in these times. More like a lot of jarring.
So I recommend you adopt a lullaby. One that comforts you in these times.
I highly recommend the appropriately named "Lullaby" by the Dixie Chicks.
Every man, woman, child, baby, and/or animal I know calms down within the 1st minute of this song.
Try it. You'll see what I mean.

A lullaby is a little luxury that we all deserve in these troubled times.
So find one, take a listen to it when that proverbial wolf is at the door or just when you need a little cuddle of comfort.
And I'll be working on getting this one finished so I can share my lullaby with you.

Be gentle with yourself,

Dawn
