Your Song

I sat on the roof and kicked off the moss…

Well a few of the verses well they’ve got me quite cross…
But the sun’s been quite kind…
While I wrote this song…
It’s for people like you that
Keep it turned on…
(Your Song- Elton John)

It’s one of those January Sunday mornings that greets us with wind, snow, cold. While many people find this scene quite comforting, all curled up with coffee or tea, watching the snow, reading, doing whatever they do during these kind of days, I am all restless, crazy, and immediately in need of warm sunshine, warm breezes, and outside activity with markets, festivals, events.

This is the month when people don’t want to be out, in town, either. They don’t want to venture out to the shops, or to walk the lovely sidewalks to shop in the lovely shops. The Cosmic Breads and Threads Shop, included.

So, on these winter days, I spend time planning, organizing, baking, dreaming, and scheming all new things for the upcoming season.

But, I also am able to just concentrate on this little local market of love. The goodness of it, the map of where we are going, the pride in the market, the vendors, the customers, the YMCA, and the community that supports us. It’s like this is our song, and our gift to the community. The gift of keeping it all real, all local, and bringing you the best of the best, each and every week!

Friday evening, I was able to break away, for wine and dinner, with a good friend, at a local place. It was a night of heartfelt chats, good wine, and just much needed girl chat time. This song was in the background, at one point, and for some reason, I have been singing it over and over. I kept wondering why it’s been stuck in my head.

At first, I thought it was because I’ve always found it so beautiful. Then, I thought it was because it was one of my very first pieces of vinyl that I ever owned, and still have in my possession. Then, it hit me…Your Song…it speaks to all of us, about different things, in each of our lives.

As I said, this market is our local song. Our song that we sing, weekly, and with much pride. We all bring our own song to this market. The products, the vendors, the customers, the Y…we all bring a variety of verses to make up the entire song.

And, we thank you, each and every day, for helping us to keep it turned on…

It’s a perfect day to sit and make your list, and get your orders in for this week’s market. Such an easy way to do your shopping, keep it real, keep it affordable, keep it local, and to create your own blend of orders to sing your own song…

And, you can tell everybody, this is your song…

Peace, Love, Good Vibes…
