Tuesday Tunes Song of the Week: Brighter Days
Artist: Blessing Offor
It’s here…2022. If you are anything like me, you have a little hope for the new year. I, for one, welcome this energy shift. 2021, I’m so read for you to be over.
I felt the weight of the world for most of 2021. It became unbearable some days. Did anything horrible happen to me or my life, no but grief was a heavy backpack I wore most days toward the end.
In my quest to be inspired for 2022 I found this song, Brighter Days by Blessing Offor. I knew nothing about him when I picked the song. So of course I googled…and you should too! Yes he was a contestant on The Voice but he has an incredible story.
This man (who is legally blind) can see that brighter days are ahead and how can I argue with that. His lyrics are haunting and uplifting all at the same time.
Once I listened to it a couple times I have been able to take deep breathes and place the backpack on the ground and begin to walk away from a year that weighed heavy on a lot of us.
Recovery isn’t always sunshine and rainbows but the one constant is that “this too shall pass.” We made it. Congrats!
Here’s to 22…
