Happy Music

This morning my four oldest children got up at the insane hour of 3AM and took the train into Manhattan to see Jason Mraz perform on the Today show. I don't usually watch the Today Show, but I love the fact that in the summer, they feature popular performers who perform outdoors in Rockefellar Center... free to the public. It warms this mother's heart that my kids, really young adults, planned and carried out this little field trip on their own. So for all you moms of bickering children, take heart! They may actually grow up and like each other. I think mine just might. What I like about Jason Mraz is his music seems to send a very positive message... at least the music I've heard. It is really upbeat and just makes me want to smile. And so I share this you tube video of today's performance:

You can also hear one of his most popular songs on this wildly popular post from this past May.
