I came across this video today looking for the original song by Tears for Fears. This video totally mesmerized me. And actually calmed me down.
Oh do watch it...pretty please...it's so cool.
My Morning was CRA-ZEE! Oy! The noise level...and the whining...and the freaking out about not finding the right jeans...and complaining about too much homework and piano lessons....
Anyway...I felt as if I were going a bit mad.
But the kids have left the building and Mommy is all better (at least for the moment).
I did take a self portait in the midst of the chaos...yep...this sums it all up.
But that's OK...it's life...and life isn't always quiet and peaceful.
Sometimes life is really really loud.
And sometimes you feel mad.
So, you just have to roll with it...then let it go. That's important...letting it all go...
And then getting back to your peaceful place.
That reminds me...might be a good time to meditate :)
Have a beautiful day!
Take a peek...I am blooming 365 days in 2010

one of the many reasons I have always loved monday mornings...hubby back to work, kids back to school, mamma back to normal !
I've been there...often !
at least you have clothes on....on days like you described, I'm still in my bathrobe !
amazing video !!
amazing !
and that song will always be in my head with adam having sung it on american idol......
My wife has banned this song from my mix tapes... deeming it too depressing. But I like it. A lot.
I hope you find peace today.
At the height of my pain, when I was in agony beyond description, I would play this because it took me to a safer place outside myself; it became one of my songs. I agree Mobius, I don't find it depressing either. Death is not the end and nothing to be feared :)
Great picture again :) Seems like the world is spinning a bit too fast :) Enjoy your meditation...
Yeah, neat video of a good song!
makes me curious as to what video it is as my work computer will not allow me access to video.
hope the day goes better.
what a great video! i'll have to bookmark that one.
and letting go is so important. often hard, but important.
Thanks so much for posting such a lovely video.I totally know what you mean about having crazy mornings..sometimes you just need to regroup and focus.I love your photo.Whats the "Blooming 365?" Do you take a pic everyday?I think your images are just lovely.Warmest Regards,Cat
Loved the video, I like the song, I don't find it depressing...I loved your self portrait....just breathe.
Big hugs!
Great video but I LOVE the photo much more!!!!
You are amazing... You write so sweetly about every day life...
HUGS}}}}}}}}}}
I hear ya - I got up wayyyy earlier than usual so I could have some quiet time before hubby and my SIL got up so I could try meditating and working on my Bloom Project work but noooooo - they got up too and got into a raging debate about unions and health care! I'm working through my grumpiness right now.
Hope you had some quiet time eventually!
PS And I love your photo and I luv luv LUV "Mad World"!
....crazy or mad world, there's a difference no? Love British bands, what ever happened to Tears for Fears...hmmm?!
xo
i have always loved this song, even if/when it makes me feel so sad.
hope things have settled down and that you are managing to enjoy your day. if not, tomorrow is another day and it might be better!! :)
Thanks for the wonderful video... and peace to you!
Reminds me of that sign 'You don't have to be mad to work here - but it helps'!! Carry on with the good work (mediation).
This is one of my favorite songs. That scene at the end of Donnie Darko when they play this song is one of the most powerful cinematic moments of all time, for me. If you haven't seen it, I strongly recommend that you do.
Girl this is the perfect video, perfect music to accompany this portrait.
I know that feeling...it's overwhelming...and then we just need to chill, relax and breathe!! xo
That's a great video for me to enjoy now with my lunch. Thanks. I think I also need to add meditation to my day. Enjoy your day Caroline.
I saw Jules' video of Mad World about a year ago and totally fell in love with his interpretation of the song. I love his version the best out of Tears for Fears and Adam Lambert. It just has, like you said, such a calming quality to it and his voice is beautiful....
Wow. That sums up my mornings too! Seriously! Although I would not be sitting there with my hand in my head, I would have my hand in my head as I zoom down 309 towards the city!
I love these pictures of yourself. Thanks for letting us have a peek into your life. And into your soul.
To be a photographer and model at the same time is quite a trick. Super well done on both counts. Nice post too.
Yes. Let it go. Nearly all these things are small stuff. Focus on how great it is to be you.
Thanks for the video. And for the glimpse into your morning.
