The dishes are all dirty
the wash is piled high
the phone’s ringing off its hook
I think I’m gonna cry
Kids running down the hall
screaming their lungs out
I dreamed of having more
is this what life’s about?
The dog has chased the cat
up the drapes (all custom made)
our bird’s a chirp’n off his bill
he’s dinner, he’s afraid
Our bird just might be closer
to the truth, than he might know
cause if the pot boils over
one more time, upon the stove
It won’t be fit to give the dogs
much less, to feed the kids
and Polly just might find himself
in the pot, under the lid
I know this all sounds crazy
but, I know that in the end
I wouldn’t change a thing
and I’d do it all again
For even though sometimes we think
its all been done in vain
a smile appears upon our lips
and happiness remains
Yes, they drive me up the wall sometimes,
but even so
I wouldn’t change a thing
because I love them, don’t you know!
When you find yourself having a particularly difficult day and you question the whys and whats of where your life is going; sometimes the best thing you can do is to look to the positive things in each day and view them with a touch of humor.
Life has a way of balancing itself with positives and negatives. It is through this balance we learn to appreciate what we are blessed with. This balance also teaches us coping skills and builds our character, making us stronger and more compassionate. As long as we view life as a learning process and properly extract the lessons life has to offer, we can share that experience with others — offering laughter to lift the spirit and drying the tears of sorrow.
By understanding your own emotions better, you are capable of offering that support to others in their time of need. Remember, every yesterday builds upon each new tomorrow. How we choose to view each day, how we carry the memories of yesterday into tomorrow, and how we share those experiences can literally change someone else’s life as well as our own.
