Carolina in my mind

I woke up the other morning before my alarm, which is always a wonderful thing. I stretched my arms out and enjoyed the sun that was streaming into my bedroom. As I was stretching I smelled for my coffee that had already brewed itself. As I found the smell I smiled because this was an amazing morning for no other reason except for what I just told you. I put on a little James Taylor and drank my coffee, forgetting for just a little while that I had to start getting ready for work. Why did I put on James Taylor? When I am relaxed and calm I start to hear James Taylor in my head. No joke. But, it always sounds better when he sings it through my radio than when I do in my head.

This photograph is from another recent James Taylor moment. James starting playing in my head while sitting over the water watching the sun go down behind the clouds at Lake LBJ. Carolina was in my mind during this one.

May we find a little James Taylor in every day.

*James Taylor wrote Carolina in My Mind while in Spain. He said even though he had a home in Spain, he was a little homesick. So he wrote about what he missed so he could remember it.
