Featured song 12/9/2017: Christmas Through  Your Eyes by Gloria Estefan
https://youtu.be/8J1nPEGHdq0



 "I wanna see Christmas through your eyes,
I want everything to be the way it used to be,
Back to being a child again, thinking the world was mine,
I wanna see Christmas, Christmas through your eyes."


There is beauty in a child's perspective /innocence - as explained in this article:
https://hubpages.com/family/The-beauty-of-a-childs-innocence

We grow up and we discover the world can be a cold, dark, evil place. We lose a lot of the innocence. We are also expected to behave as mature adults (be responsible, make/handle difficult decisions, and so on). Many adults would like to experience some "childhood wonder and dreaming" from time to time.

A struggle for some parents is how much information/knowledge to pass on to a very young child. Woulld they lose their innocence too early? This article discusses the struggle: http://www.telegraph.co.uk/education/educationopinion/11384246/Too-much-information-destroys-childhood-innocence.html

Today, I am remembering the first playlist I created for The Lessons Project /  LifeLessonsForAll. That top 10 list included the best songs selected (for inclusion in posts providing life lessons) during the first year. The lesson was important, but so was the song (quality).

The playlist - Top 10 2013: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLmYXTlZN4bBLIvcpNFoL72tT0eqKLzjY0

That year, two songs received special mentions (not shown in the YouTube list):
- Bridge of Light by Pink
- Breakaway by Kelly Clarkson
I included both of these songs in this year's struggle song list.

"Take a risk, make a change and breakaway" and "If you will it, it will be yours"...
