Sadly, I won't be able to attend this year's JS Board retreat. However, I've still been able to do some pre-retreat activities, like send my picks of three songs that inspire, uplift, or conjour up a good memory.
For some ideas and inspiration, I turned to a post I wrote a couple years ago where I created my own rare disease playlist, songs that perk me up or get me pumped when I'm down.
But, this was for a Board function and I doubt my mix of hard rock, goofiness, and profanity would be deemed appropriate.
Instead, I created a second playlist. A decidedly more G-rated, family friendly, "no swears" playlist.
Like the last one, there's still some classic rock, animation, and even some alternative stuff, but it gels a lot more with what others might call inspirational.
Run With Us - The theme song from The Raccoons (older Canadian cartoon, one of my favourites)
Roll Me Away by Bob Seger - I prefer the live version. Reminds me of both my Dad and one summer at Camp Merrywood where some counsellors brought in a pick-up truck full of junk food and blared classic rock for a tailgate party.
Lean On Me by Blue Mountain - Any version is good, but this is by a reggae group whose video I found randomly on YouTube.
Standing Outside The Fire by Garth Brooks
Never Surrender by Corey Hart - My song according to my parents.
Shine by Collective Soul
Higher Love by Steve Winwood
I Am Mine by Pearl Jam
Hold My Hand by Hootie and The Blowfish
Son of Man by Phil Collins - from Tarzan
Then, I just picked three at random and emailed them off.
Cheers!
