what’s really important?
Life is so easy to get lost in, everything from cranky driving to believing you MUST answer all those damn email messages. Trust me, they are not going away.
I have had some interesting life challenges over the last several years, exponentially growing beyond the wildest thoughts of even Dean Koontz.
What to do now? Where to go? Why did a dream of mine just disappear so easily?
Too many questions to ponder…and yet, many really don’t matter in the glorious grand cosmos of life.
Back to basics is sometimes all you have when you are looking down the abyss of the biggest dark whole you’ve ever seen. Ask yourself the true simply important life question. What’s really important?
For me, it was a gloomy, rainy day, sitting in 5 o’clock traffic inching my way home to see my beautiful wife & ever so energetic little girls, where it smacked me across the face. Once again…thank you Jimmy Buffett!
The song “Lucky Stars” began to play, bringing one giant smile to my face.
I believe in energy throughout the universe & that there sure is something in life that no one can explain. So when the little signs present themselves, you better be listening. I regularly listen to audio books & will alternatively just hit shuffle for any of my 3000 songs to begin playing. Wouldn’t you know it…an old favorite & reality check for me began to billow through my car speakers. Immediately, I was brought out of a more than usual funk & once again decided to move forward with my three favorite words (or motto).
Live, Laugh, Love
A life altering favorite song for me…enjoy the words, they can make your day!
Lucky Stars

Woke up just the other day
Fell out of bed and my dog ran away.
The car won’t start and the weather was cold and gray.
I got stuck in a traffic jam,
My major meeting didn’t go as I planned.
Looks like it’s gonna be another one of those days.
I got a roof over my head,
Someone to love me in a four poster bed,
And I can play this here guitar
I thank my lucky stars.
Politicians speak and it makes me ill…
People are dyin’ just for a thrill.
Maybe it’s just evolution gone astray.
The climate’s too hot, music’s gotten cold,
I’ve livin’ like a health nut but I still grow old.
You do what you can on the edge of the Milky Way.
Got a roof over my head,
Someone to love me in a four poster bed,
And I can play this here guitar
Gonna thank my lucky stars.
Wrapped up in the problems of the day,
Just remember there’s no rewind and no replay.
Don’t you worry cause it ain’t gonna fix a thing.
Woke up just the other day,
Thought that maybe I’d be OK,
Cause the story I’ve been getting
Ain’t written anywhere.
Got a roof over my head,
Someone to love me in a four poster bed,
And I can play this here guitar
Gonna thank my lucky stars.
Got a roof over my head,
Someone to love me in a four poster bed,
And I can play this here guitar
I thank my lucky stars.
Gonna thank my lucky stars.
Thank you stars
