Pick Me Ups

Here's a depressing truth about family law: you don't have clear winners and losers often. Instead, you get hard won compromises that make neither party completely happy.

But, I'm soldiering on. And to cheer myself up tonight I'm going to make a list of my favorite comfort songs.

The following are Songs That Make Me Feel Better No Matter What

1. Miriam Makeba's classic song Pata Pata.
I dare you to not start dancing in your desk chair. Just try. Next, listen to more of her stuff and marvel at how amazing she is. Case in point.

2. Emily Kane by Art Brut. What girl doesn't want to think that to someone, somewhere, she is the one that got away?

3. Expectations by Belle and Sebastian.
I would have been much happier in high school if I had known this song existed.

Two things about this song: 1. it is a guaranteed hit for karaoke. 2. Can you think of a better song to slow dance to while wearing a 1950s prom gown? I need this dress and a dreamy prom date.
hmm . . . Big Kahuna or Moondoggie?

5. Chelsea Morning by Joni Mitchell. Someday I will fall in love to this song. I really believe that in the secret hippie part of my heart.

Love and Other Indoor Sports,

Kate
