That's Life

I have this song playing on repeat in my head today. Anyone who knows anything about me at all knows that I have a deep and abiding love for Mr. Michael Buble. (I like to think that the Me & Mrs. You song is about us. I know, I live in a rich fantasy land. But whatever.)



Anyway, this song is one of my all time faves. I love it, in large part because I love the alliteration - the line "a puppet, a pauper, a pirate, a poet, a pawn and a king" melts me down to nothing. I can't explain how much I love a cleverly turned phrase, there simply aren't words for that.

As much as I love that line (and I do love it... so freaking much), "Each time I find myself flat on my face, I pick myself up and get back in the race" has been resonating with me today.

I love it when I realize that I have a song in my head, esp when it's a song that seems to come out of nowhere, because it's usually representative of something I've been processing. And this song, my friends, reminds me of everything that's good in life. We struggle, we falter, we're afraid we may fail... but in the end, if we get ourselves up and go about doing whatever it is that we need to do, I just have to think that we'll make it. (Hopefully, with the swell of a gospel choir and a sweet jazz band to back us up.)

Anyway, That's Life. And I love it.

The End.
