It's really late ... late into the morning, late in the year. Almost at the final hours. I have been listening to this song an awful lot, especially while running. I love the lyrics. I love watching Rob sing. I imagine it come from a special place where in which lies much pain, endurance, humility. I suppose they could be empty words; however, when I watch him, it appears he's thinking about someone, perhaps his wife?
It has really been a hard year. I think it has been hard for many. This is usually the season to be jolly, but I just don't have it in me. I'll just veer from all the merriment a bit, and reach out to all the lonely hearts out there. I want to say, you are not alone. You are in the company of many. But you will be okay. A complete stranger told me that once.
So, here are some thoughts to carry ... don't hold on to anger, it only makes you bitter. Observe and believe when people show who they are, because it's often different than what they tell you. And most importantly, do what you say you are going to do, or don't say it. Toying with people's emotions is cruel. Oh, and one more thing ... learn how to give others dignity; it always matters, whether or not a person is able to receive it at the time.
