It Is Good To Be Alive



And with that, another year comes to a close. Going to store this one away so I can look back over it from time to time. Admittedly, most days will be forgotten. Routine does that with time. Still, good feelings come around when memories of those you love are near.

“Life is like a hurricane
It brings the wind, it brings the rain
Mud and bone, and tangled vine
Pick the grape and drink the wine
Laissez Le Bon Temps... Bon Temps Roule
Breathing in and out another day
Laissez Le Bon Temps... Bon Temps Roule
It's good to be alive”

Had some laughs during the past year. Hopefully made some people smile. Watched in wonder how the seasons on earth take their turn. Amazed how the seasons of life also each have a turn in our own lives. Thankful God watches over all of it.

“Roll in the clover bare your feet
Bees will sting but honey's sweet
Chickens run but angels fly
'Cuz God is holding up the sky
Laissez Le Bon Temps... Bon Temps Roule

Breathing in and out another day
Laissez Le Bon Temps... Bon Temps Roule
It's good to be alive”


Lost some family and friends in the last 365. Trust they are in a better way now. As time moves on, time moves faster. Nothing new to share in that regard. Each moment is fleeting so hold those you love close.

“Shiny hearses long and black
Don't come with a luggage rack
You can't take it when you go
So let the good, the good times roll
Laissez Le Bon Temps... Bon Temps Roule
Breathing in and out another day
Laissez Le Bon Temps... Bon Temps Roule
Je Suis Vivant... Vivant”

Look back. Look ahead. Breathe in. Breathe out. It is good to be alive.

“Shiny hearses long and black
Don't come with a luggage rack
You can't take it when you go
So let the good, the good times roll
Laissez Le Bon Temps... Bon Temps Roule
Breathing in and out another day
Laissez Le Bon Temps... Bon Temps Roule
It's good to be alive”

 
Live. Love. Work. Play. Be alive. May you make the most of the new year.
