It's gray and cold out there.

My Baby Sis once told me I'm a song fan. I like it. I've been describing myself as such ever since. Bands, musicians, conductors, songwriters and singers didn't register in my head. Only a song. Most songs that have stuck, or will stick with me, are songs I can sing with. And in most cases the lyrics make a huge difference. Some songs have such great lyrics. Poetry to me. But mixed in with those great lyrics are words that date the song and prevent it's immortality, as the new generations cannot relate to those lyrics at all. Fun. Fun's song "Carry On" is such a song. Some great lyrics, poetry really, mixed in with not so great lyrics. So, as others have done for countless generations, I choose those snippets that speak to me and blur out those that do not. Transforming the songs original meaning to suit me and my life. It's so easy to speak encouraging words without fully understanding what it is to be in the position to actually try and live by them. But what else do we have, when we don't know what to do or say, but to try and be encouraging? And hopeful. After all, in most cases, the intent is usually well meant, and in some cases, heartfelt. So, for as long as possible, please try to
"Carry On"
