Beautiful

You've got to get up every morning with a smile on your face

And show the world all the love in your heart

Then people gonna treat you better

You're gonna find, yes you will

That you're beautiful as you feel

I have often asked myself the reason for the sadness

In a world where tears are just a lullaby

If there's any answer, maybe love can end the madness

Maybe not, but oh, we can only try

Those are just a few of the lyrics to one of my all-time favorite songs-- "Beautiful" by Carole King. It's one of those feel-good songs that you can't help but smile while singing along to. For some reason, I can't get this one outta my head! I seriously find myself singing it at some point during my morning routine every day. But...why the heck not? What a message!

Jake and I bought tickets to see James Taylor and Carole King back in July. We had a crazy busy month and a week after the show, we realized we had forgotten all about it! This is one of my biggest disappointments. I still cringe every time I think about missing the opportunity to see these amazing artists together!
