I carry happiness with me. While walking yesterday, while riding the T today, while doing some spring cleaning this past weekend, I had happiness in my ears and on my hip. Let me introduce you my portable happiness – Ms. iPod.
Listening to music on my iPod player (gifted to me by hubby) is instant joy.
Yesterday, Michael Jackson’s “Rock with You” got me going.
Today, I veered between Déjà vu by Beyoncé and Jay Z
and Stevie Wonder’s “Do I Do?” from his album Musiquarium (1982).
‘
You can’t be down or depressed listening to Do I Do.
Stevie asks:
Do I do what you do when I do my love for you?
“Yes, Stevie,” would be my answer. There are several live versions of the video on YouTube, but I so enjoy listening to the song through my ear phones. (And dancing to it, of course.)
I’m on the T, listening to my portable happiness, mouthing the lyrics so as not to disturb my fellow riders, going back in my mind to one of the first times I heard this song with my girls – Mimi & Diane – back in our day…
Ah, there was a time when there was no better ones to be than we three (and no one than me).
Grab your iPod, put on some music, dance.
Spring has sprung!
