new theme song?

I wish this could be my theme song 
[If I could let go of some things] 
Maybe I will try a little harder to make sure it is.

"My List"

By Toby Keith

Under an old brass paperweight is my list of things to do today

Go to the bank and the hardware store, put a new lock on the cellar door

I cross 'em off as I get 'em done but when the sun is set

There's still more than a few things left I haven't got to yet

Go for a walk, say a little prayer

Take a deep breath of mountain air

Put on my glove and play some catch

It's time that I make time for that

Wade the shore and cast a line

Look up a long lost friend of mine

Sit on the porch and give my girl a kiss

Start livin', that's the next thing on my list

Wouldn't change the course of fate but cuttin' the grass just had to wait

'Cause I've got more important things like pushin' my kid on the backyard swing

I won't break my back for a million bucks I can't take to my grave

So why put off for tomorrow what I could get done today

Like go for a walk, say a little prayer

Take a deep breath of mountain air

Put on my glove and play some catch

It's time that I make time for that

Wade the shore and cast a line

Look up a long lost friend of mine

Sit on the porch and give my girl a kiss

Start livin', that's the next thing on my list

Raise a little heck, laugh 'til it hurts

Put an extra five in the plate at church

Call up my folks just to chat

It's time that I make time for that

Stay up late, then oversleep

Show her what she means to me

Catch up on all the things I've always missed

Just start livin', that's the next thing on my list

Under an old brass paperweight

Is my list of things to do today

Onward...

Life throws a lot of curve balls at us, thats for sure...
Some times we are blessed with wonderful things and other times a whole lot of heart ache.

Speaking of which, the I have been pondering the following questions lately:

How do we continue on with daily life when we are feeling so blue? Especially when everyone around us seems so happy? 

I guess there will always be someone in a different place in life, filled with more hardships and sorrows or seemingly happier than you. I think this is something all of us deal with. But every person's feelings and situation MATTERS. Nothing is insignificant. By the strength of God we are able to continue on this journey and strive to take life's "curve balls" as a teachable moment. 

How do we share our joy with others without being insensitive to where they are at? 

I think you should be grateful for the mountain you are on if you are experiencing a high moment in life. But I think empathy and sympathy as well as being conscious of your word choice can be more powerful than you know. 

So how do we move on from something that seems impossible?  I think you just live one day, one hour, or even one minute at a time...whatever you can do.

Dreamt about for years on end
Just how perfect those traits would be
How a person could possess a love so strong
For something so perfect...
All the hopes and wishes for what is to come
Linked to you.
Your heart beating strong,
A miracle indeed.
The ride is not always smooth, they say.
This is proven true,
Up down and around...
God sent His little angle to take you to Him
For I guess it is there you belonged
Forever I will feel that rhythm
Will I hold those memories
And will I search for peace
Love you.
