Brown Eyes

The first time I saw Maroon 5 in concert, there was an opening act who played the piano and my friend and I looked at each other and said that she was really good! She had a simple band on one end of the stage and she sat at a piano on the other end and introduced herself by saying, “Hi, I’m Sara and this is my band.”

That’s right! I had the great opportunity of hearing is Sara Bareilles play just before she blew up! I have a dog her music since that day! One of her songs was my, “Walking song” at Barwis! I think I logged a little over 300 yards while I worked out there and plan on getting back there as soon as my knee stops hurting me so much!

Friday, I got an alert from Apple Music on my phone asking if I heard Sara Bareilles is new album, Amidst the Chaos.

I stopped reading my book and immediately and downloaded it onto Apple Music and started to listen! Of course, I dug it! It wasn’t until yesterday morning when I woke up that I played the album song by song as I waited for my Mom to get to my house to help get me out of bed. There are definitely multiple gems on this album! I thought about the album as a whole all day yesterday and this morning I decided on my favorite song!

Both of my parents have brown eyes so I could have gotten my brown eyes from either of them. Sean, on the other hand, got his brown eyes from me! His eyes were gray for almost the first month after he was born. I actually HOPED that he would get blue eyes but days before we left the hospital, they turned brown. Sean looked nothing like me when he was born and the fact that he had brown eyes made me happy because I KNOW he got those from ME!

He has always been in classes with a majority of light eyed kids. His eyes are not as dark as mine (He is only half Mexican) but I told him that he should be happy with them because he got them from ME! When I listened to the last song on Sara Bareilles’s new album, (Which I would HIGHLY recommend it to everyone!) this song made me smile. I could have gotten my brown eyes from my Mom but it’s my hope that all of us (Me + my 2 “Sacreds (Sean and my Mom)) will be, “Shiny”as well.
