#21 It’s Your Thing (The Isley Brothers) 👍🏼
It’s your thing, do what you wanna do
I can’t tell you, who to sock it to
It’s your thing, do what you wanna do
I can’t tell you, who to sock it to
If you want me to love you, maybe I will
Believe me woman, it ain’t no big deal
You need love now, just as bad as I do
Make’s me no difference now, who you give your thing to
It’s your thing, do what you wanna do
I can’t tell you, who to sock it to
It’s your thing, do what you wanna do
I can’t tell you, who to sock it to
It’s your thing, do what you wanna do
I can’t tell you, who to sock it to
It’s your thing, do what you wanna do
I can’t tell you, who to sock it to
I’m not trying to run your life, I know you wanna do what’s right
Give your love now, to whoever you choose
How can you lose, with the stuff you use now
It’s your thing, do what you wanna do
I can’t tell you, who to sock it to
It’s your thing, do what you wanna do
Don’t let me tell you, who to sock it to
It’s your thing, I do what I wanna do
I can’t tell you, who to sock it to

Everyday Edens: Spending Another Day in Paradise
“Home is the definition of God. Eden is that old-fashioned House we dwell in every day.”
Emily Dickinson (American Poet; December 10th, 1830 to May 15th, 1886)
“Perhaps now—of all times—when I am nearly bowed under physically, emotionally, and psychologically by the minutiae of the mundane, is the very moment I need the reverence of poets who bear witness to the sacredness of the ordinary.”
“We are all given a choice each day. We can react negatively to the demands made on us or we can choose to live abundantly, to transform the negative into the meaningful. Attitude is all. If I do not endow my life and my work with meaning, no one will ever be able to do it for me.”
“I enjoy the daily ‘To Dos’ to keep the household running smoothly. They are almost meditative and tend to clear my mind for greater creative energy when the household is in order.”
–Ban Breathnach, Sarah. “Simple Abundance: A Daybook of Comfort and Joy”. Grand Central Publishing. (1976). Kindle Page 149 to 151 of 501.
I challenge each of you on this blog series to post comments so we all can grow together.
