Sounds Like Life to Me

My husband is a great guitar player. He wouldn't ever tell you that and he'll probably be mad that I am talking about him but he only reads my blog occasionally so it may be awhile before I have to hear about it! ;) His favorite songs to play are usually country and he played one the other night by Darryl Worley called "Sounds Like Life to Me." Here's the official video for the song:






If you can't watch the video, check out a snippet of the lyrics:

Sounds like life to me
It ain't no fantasy
It's just a common case of everyday reality
Man, I know it's tough but you gotta suck it up
To hear you talk you're caught up in some tragedy
It sounds like life to me

This song is so true - and so relevant to how I was feeling that day. I love Facebook - for staying in touch with family, networking, getting back in touch with old friends - but sometimes it really brings me down when I get on there. I see everybody ranting and raving about things that aren’t really that big a deal. Of course everybody earns the right to rant once in awhile but some people just seem to be stuck in negativity all the time – everything they talk about is awful, terrible and no good. They're always having a bad day, their kids/family/significant other is horrible, school/job is stressful, their life just stinks...you know how it goes. I think that’s a very poor way to live your life. Yes, sometimes life really stinks but that's just the way life is sometimes. If everything was perfect all the time, things would be pretty boring - and we probably wouldn't learn anything! Challenges sometimes teach us things we wouldn't have been able to learn otherwise. And life is what you make of it. If you're unhappy and mad all the time, your life is probably going to continue following in that fashion. So hubby thanks for reminding me, in your own country way, that sometimes "that's just life."
