While we were in Colorado, the band, Blue County played their new single, I Get To. Since then I listen to it often and would like to share it with you. The message is simple and I hope that it will mean as much to you as it does me.
We all know there is much we take for granted, now more than ever. Unfortunately it seems it is not until we are faced with a life threatening illness or tragedy that we realize how much. There are times we all have opportunities to do things and we may pass them up because we don't want to, or it interferes with something we would rather do or it is just inconvenient. Well now I can find myself so tired or not feeling well and Luke will ask me to play catch, or kick ball and I may have put him off before saying I have to clean the house or do laundry. Not now, I will muster what I need so I can because I get to. There are definitely days I don't want to go to work, I would just like to stay in bed but I go because I get to. I may not want to go to that birthday party on the other side of town but, I do because I get to. I am sure you see where I am going with this. If each of us would just take one day and pause each time we say we have to do something, I bet we would all feel differently about it and just maybe at the end of the day those things that you said you had to do will become more of a gift than a chore.
There's alot of things we don't have to do...we get to.
So, say I love you first today because you get to.
You can listen to I Get To at http://www.bluecountyfans.com/, enjoy!

My name is Shirley and I run Blue County's Fan Club. I read what you wrote in your blog about "I Get To" and it was simply beautiful. Please, PLEASE know that my thoughts and prayers are with you. I will send this blog to Aaron and Scott's personal email because I know that they will want to know how much their song meant to you. Thank you for making me think so clearly.
God Bless!
Shirley
Trini-
Thanks so much for your inspiration and sharing how a little song of ours was a little bit of "medicine" for you. :) Your testimony is so encouraging to us. Keep up the fight for you, your husband, your son, your family, your friends, and all those you have and will touch by your strength. I pray God's strength and healing touch for you.
In His hands,
Aaron Benward-Blue County

The loss of Lexi taught me to enjoy the "moment" and to grab the good in every day.
Your strength and positive attitude are such a gift to all around you. You are such a blessing to so many
Keep the "I Can Do It" and "I Get To" attitude. It's working!!!!
Love those downward numbers..

Hey Trini,
Yea - so excited about your numbers!! I loved your last note. This song was meant for you and this was God's purpose for you to hear it. This song was sent to you to give you the strength to continue fighting and inspire you toward peace and happiness and provide an understanding to how your life is this very moment. It's things like this to get you through this "bad" blip of what will be your long beautiful life with your family. Yes ... 40 will come and go!!! You'll be old and gray before you know it! (Ha)
Much Love and Prayers,
Doreen
