Roll With It, Honey!

Dear Friends,
I had originally meant for these pictures to tell a funny story.
One about Bee-boppin' through life.

But yesterday was just one of those days.
The World felt like it was crashing in.
I was certainly not floating along on a blithely, blowing breeze.
Bee-boppin' along?
Not hardly.

So this post is taking a different tone.
And I'm just rolling with it.


It was six fifteen.


Traffic was rollin'.
We were truckin', Boys.
There was a party to go to, after all.


There was a song in my heart.


And a smile on my face.

On a roll.
Rock 'n roll.
My children's eyes roll

------------------------------------------------------

Fast forward to yesterday.
No song.
No smile.
Distress.
Walls closing in.
No song.

But in Bible study last night I found my song again.
It started with three words:

I'm Thankful for...

I realized I could fill that blank with so many things.


The song  spilled out.
Life was good again.

***

So next time I'm feeling blue,
The next time it seems impossible to go on,

I'm gonna choose a cheerful tune.
I'm gonna add in the words of things I'm thankful for.
I'm gonna let it out.

It may start out a little too quiet.
It might be a little off tune.
The timing might be a little slow.


But you'll find me singin', baby.
Singing with all my heart.

Love,
Rollin' in NE
