Check this out - Bob over at Every, Every Minute has this fun meme called MyTurn/YourTurn - it’s simple straight-forward fun, and no tagging, so I’m in! This edition is called Happy Songs.

Last summer I saw the Newsboys in concert where they previewed their “Go” album and the lead track entitled “Wherever We Go” has made me smile ever since. I’ve listened to it on my drive to our office pretty much every day. In my mind it’s a perfect company theme song because of lyrics like this:

Where we go, little glow-worms glow
Little roadrunners run ahead
Gonna tell their friends
Little mice, little men
Get ‘em all excited
All invited

Chorus:
Hands up
Holler back here
Let’s throw this party in gear
We brought the welcome mat
Wherever we go, that’s where the party’s at

Totally a natural fit for the continent-crossing speaking duo of Kim and Jason, but it also fits me because I believe every package I send from the Lemonade Stand is a little party in a box! With way cool stuff to transform home and office spaces as well as gifts to fight adultitis, how can there not be a celebration?

There is a smile on my face as I pack boxes of goodies when I envision joy as described in these two favorite verses:

Wherever we go, bluebirds sing
And the flowers bloom
And the grass gets green
It’s a curious thing
But it’s just our thing

Wherever we go, the bees behave
In the treetops, squirrels smile and wave
It’s a curious thing
And it’s humbling

And my absolute favorite line:

God help us, we just love our job

I really do love my job and I grin from ear to ear when I hear this song that happily reminds me of where the party’s at!

YourTurn: What song always makes you happy when you hear it?

Alternative: What is your company’s/job’s theme song? Do you want to change it or crank it up?

Just thinking of the song makes me smile - “Awesome God”. And, to tell you the truth, it’s not because of the song itself (although it’s really great and fun to sing) but because I was inspired recently to retool the lyrics a little bit to brag a little on my 6 1/2-month-old English Pointer puppy “Molly”. I call it “Awesome Dog”. As in:

My dog is an awesome dog,
she plays in the yard all day
with balls and ropes and toys
my dog is an awesome dog!

Just thinking about my puppy makes me smile! I can’t wait until I get off work and get a chance to play with her.

Those Newsboys do have some upbeat tunes, don’t they? Good stuff.

LOL @ “Awesome Dog.”

Thanks for playing, y’all!
