Inspiration from the Strangest of Places -
Some time ago someone gave me an MP3 player...the kind that could be a lighter or out of a gum ball machine next to the tattoo dispenser...I plugged it into my computer downloaded what was on it...some garbage...to me anyway...then this song by...Dolly Parton....not ever given much thought to her except her attitude...always positive...the song is called "Better Get to Livin'...yes no G...
Starts "People always coming up to me asking Dolly what's your secret?"...."with all you do your attitude just seems to be so good how do you keep it?"....then the chorus..."Better get to livin'....givin'...don't forget to throw in a little more giving and love along the way...better get to knowing....showing...a little more concern about where you are going...a word unto the wise....you better get to living"...."girlfriend showed up started crying on my shoulder...spinning such a sad tale, I could not believe the yarn she was weaving...so negative the words she had to say...if i had a violin I'd play....be willing and forgiving cause out healing has to start with you...stop whining, pining, get our dreams in line and then just shine, design, refine until they come true....underappreciated...you better get to livin'...don't sweat the small stuff...when it gets too tough fall to your knees and pray...do this every day...the day we are born we start to die...don't waste a moment of this life...
Thanks crazy pink MP3 player and crazy guy who handed it to me....
I hope to one day forgive him...
