LIVIN MY LIFE LIKE IT'S GOLDEN!!!

I'm taking my freedom,
Pulling it off the shelf,
Putting it on my chain,
Wear it around my neck,
I'm taking my freedom,
Putting it in my car,
Wherever I choose to go,
It will take me far,

I am FEELIN' these lyrics....

I think about my children as I listen to this song, and how I have to make sure they are living life to the fullest.....I know that I have to mold them and set good examples before them so they have a good example of how they should live life. I want my children's steps to be DELIBERATE and ORDERED so that they know exactly where they are going. I work hard to ensure that they have the tools needed to be the very best at anything they set out to do. I have been so blessed that I have children who are naturally talented in many areas ( They get it from their Momma! LOL) and who are not afraid to work hard in order to succeed. I take the time to pray for them and to ask God to lead me in all that I do because without Divine Guidance....they would not stand a chance!!!

I'm livin' my life like it's golden
Livin' my life like it's golden,
Livin' my life like it's golden, golden,
Livin' my life like it's golden,
Livin' my life like it's golden, golden,

I also think about my students as I think about my students.....and I am gearing up for them as they arrive in the Fall!!!! I have to make sure that I am a "ROCK" as they matriculate into their first year of their academic career. I know that for some, I am who they will look up to for mentor-ship, and leadership....and I want to make sure I am at my best!!!

I'm livin' my life like it's golden
Livin' my life like it's golden,
Livin' my life like it's golden, golden,
Livin' my life like it's golden,
Livin' my life like it's golden, golden,

I also think about myself as I listen to this song, and how it allows me to remember my purpose and what my goals are for me personally. I don't know about anyone else, but I have to stop sometimes and take an inventory of the things that I am doing ( evaluating my attitude and actions)the people whom I surround myself (determining whether or not they will assist me in achieving the goals that I have set for my self) and make changes accordingly.

I'm taking my own freedom
Putting it in my song,
Singing loud and strong,
Grooving all day long,
I'm taking my freedom,
Putting it in my stroll,
I'll be high-steppin' y'all
Letting the joy unfold,
