Song Lyrics

With so much technology at our fingertips, I can find songs that I haven't heard in a long time, just like that! Case in point is the Gary Allan song "Life Ain't Always Beautiful" I forget about it and then it hear it on my iPod and start really hearing the lyrics.

I love the lyrics to this song ,the words themselves are beautiful and they remind me to constantly keep going. "The struggles make us stronger and your choices make you wiser" My life has been a struggle for as long as I can remember. Just when I think that things are going well, something else pops up as if to say "Don't get too happy just yet, deal with this first."

My mom, without even knowing it, taught her children to be strong individuals. As I have gotten older, I have discovered that I can be and do anything, but there are times when you need to count on someone to help you get thru life. And there are times when you just want your mommy. Last week was a rough one for me and I felt as if I could handle everything that kept popping up, but soon found out the hard way that wasn't going to happen. Tuesday was the worse day last week, but I got thru it, I even woke up with my positive face on ready to play. I got up and got ready, got my son up, got him fed and off to school, I accomplished my workload and was soon on my way home. I decided to check in with my mom and make sure she was doing ok, as soon as her voice came on the phone, I lost it! I lost it to a point where I couldn't concentrate on driving and I told her that I had to hang up and pull over and get myself together. When I called back I apologized and we talked and she kept saying you are strong enough to handle this and I am sending hugs thru the phone, can't you feel them? Yes, mom I can and you know what I am going to be ok, I am going to be stronger and wiser because of this.

Song lyrics can make you remember a time period in your life, emotions that are locked away and also a mom's hug from miles away.

Thanks mom for making me a strong, independent individual!
