Life Is Sweet
So I just picked up Natalie Merchant's VH1 Storytellers DVD and it was incredible. Most of you know what I'm talking about, those of you who don't know who she is are too young, and that makes me old. To be honest, I don't know much more than the singles on her "Tigerlily" CD...but this DVD has stuff older and newer than that and it is really cool. There was an extra song on the DVD that the original broadcast didn't have called "Life Is Sweet" and it almost moved me to tears, it is gorgeous. The lyrics really make you reconsider your perspective on life. Here's some of them:
"They told you life is hard and misery from the start,
it's dull, it's slow, it's painful...
But I tell you life is sweet in spite of the misery,
there's so much more, be grateful....
Well, who do you believe?
Who will you listen to?
Who will it be?
Because it's high time that you decide...in your own mind...
They told you life is long,
be thankful when it's done,
don't ask for more, be grateful.
But I tell you life is short,
be thankful, because before you know it, it will be over...
because life is sweet...life is short..."
It's just an incredble song...I went straight to the piano and started learning how to play it.
Today I watched "Family Guy" for the first time in a long time and laughed harder than ever. It's a GREAT show...
Last night I talked to Elizabeth until my phone died, it still amazes me that we can do that...she's such a great person, I've been fortunate to always have her as a friend...
Talked to my brother, he's going through some tough times...but I things will look up as soon as he starts college, I keep telling him that those will be the best years of his life.
My mother called me the other day and left a voice message saying my dad had suddenly flown to Korea. Of course, being my mother, she didn't tell me why and so I did some calling around and found out my grandmother is dying. I pray that whatever happens to her is smooth and that my dad stays strong...this is tough for him. It's weird that I'm always hundreds of miles away when stuff like this happens.
So it's been quite a week...
I'm off to bed, got work in the morning...
Soli Deo Gloria...
