funny memory
so when I was in early highschool there was this song (not sure if new then or I just came upon it) anywho...it was by a guy named ray stevens and it was so funny to me....called 'the day the squirrel went berserk'...of course I never watched a video back then but I sure had one in my head...it was a spoof song like 'grandma got run over by a reindeer' kind of thing...about a squirrel that got loose in a church service and ran around causing all kinds of havoc.
here is the video if you want a very silly laugh... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K16fG1sDagU
WELL, the funny part is I went to this little hole in the wall church with a friend later in high school...a very country church full of I am sure well intentioned folks...but I almost wet my pants as the singer got up for special time music and sang this song!!!!! as a serious song!!!!! I am not kidding...
I achingly searched the crowd for a set of eyes that was similarly struggling to hold it together and found NO ONE....even the guy I was with seemed to be enjoying it in a liturgical sort of way...literally I thought I was in the twilight zone....and found it more funny that I can express...
anywho...not sure why I thought of that today but I did and laughed heartily all over again...so thought i'd share it so you can too =)

37
the weeks prior to my birthday...each birthday I usually start to do some good things for my body...like eating better, exercising, sleeping more...so that when that day comes I feel 'good' about being that next age...I never take it too seriously but it is there in the back of my head...a sort of pre-emptive action against any possible feelings of "getting old" that may occur.
this year I did nothing of the sort...
I have eaten more sugar and fun stuff than I have in a long time and lifting some groceries made me feel some muscles that have been long in disuse...but as I sit here this evening I am just overwhelmedly happy....
what I feel is just very blessed...I have such an awesome family...I enjoy my kids who are healthy and interesting and so dear...I love my husband who is caring and thoughtful and funny and who is more and more every day every year my best friend...I have such wonderful friends who I respect and love and learn from and admire....
and what I know is that it is a foolish thing to lament age...
for 2 reasons...
1 is that next year when I turn 38, I will look back and think how young 37 felt...and when I turn 57, I will surely look back and think how young 38 felt!
and 2 is that I am alive!!! with each passing year it means I have been given another year to live on this planet and serve the God I adore and get to do it with my sweet family...
may the Lord keep me from being ungrateful for each moment that has been given to me..that has made up these 37 years!
ok....rambly rambly =)
