Song of the day in honor of my mom's birthday is A Spoonful Weighs a Ton by the Flaming Lips.

Watched the UFOs at the Zoo DVD...had it on my heart and mind.

Here are the lyric for A Spoonful Weights a Ton:

And though they were sad
They rescued everyone
They lifted up the sun
A spoonful weighs a ton
Giving more than they had
The process had begun
A million came from one
The limits now were none
Being drunk on their plan, they lifted up the sun

Forcing it off with their hands
The trapdoor came undone
Above our heads it swung
The privilege had been won
Being drunk on their plan, they lifted up the sun

Yelling as hard as they can
The doubters all were stunned
Heard louder than a gun
The sound they made was love

We all need to know that together we can lift up the sun!  The theme for my mom this year is to stay in the sunshine...whether there is sunshine or not...and this is a good time to think about giving more that we have.  If we focus on that...we are less apt to spin on our own discontents and worries.

All we have is now...by the Flaming Lips.

Here's to making the best of what we have, right here, right now...

By the way...the Detroit Cobras put on a fun and rocking show!
