I changed the name of my blog. I have thought about it for a while and decided today on my way home from work that it was time.

Peace, Love and Rock ‘n Roll –Here’s the thought behind it:

Almost every night, when I leave work I say to my friends, “Peace out, YO!” Tonight while I was walking down the stairs after saying it, I began to wonder why I said that. My mind wandered to peace and what peace can bring to our lives and how having peace in our lives makes us happier and better people.

After that thought crossed through my mind, I thought to myself, “You could be a hippie.” (yes, the inner monologue happened and is fun)

So I began saying, “Peace, Love and Rock ‘n Roll — Man” and laughed to myself. Then I began to think about how I kind of had a bad day at work and was excited to go home and spend a little bit of time with Bryan before he went to school. It’s good to come home to someone who loves you.

Then I got in the car and as another form of relieving stress of a bad day, I turned up the radio! I LOVE MUSIC and I love listening to music. After a long day at work, I especially love to listen to music that is loud, has a great beat and could be classified as rock ‘n roll.

I got onto the freeway and the thought came back to me of “Peace, Love and Rock ‘n Roll” and I began to laugh to myself again. In the three minutes between walking out of the doors at work and getting onto the freeway to go home I found all three of those things in life and having them in my life and thinking about them in my life, instantly made my day better than it had been since 11:30 that morning.

So I hope each of you has Peace, Love and Rock ‘n Roll in your life too!
