Diet Coke

Diet Coke…ah, that blissful beverage full of fizzy excitement and nose tickling enthusiasm.  I must say that a day without Diet Coke is like a day in the hottest desert.

What a wonderful, amazing, and fantastic liquid with such thirst extinguishing powers that overwhelm my senses with intense explosions of joy. Joy Joy Joy.

But wait….if Diet Coke is, by any measure, a wonderful refreshing treat, then Diet Coke with Lime is a virtual Niagara Falls of refreshing delight!

I hereby declare Tuesday, March 18 to be “The Day of the Diet Coke.”

Are you living or existing?

I hope this rambling finds all you readers (yes both of you) doing fantastic on this 70 degree soon to be stormy day.  Thanks to all of you who came out last Saturday night and heard the band play…it was a great show and the crowd was pretty good until it started getting really cold on the patio at Brookhaven.  Wouldn’t you know we would have a full week of weather in the 70s only to have the day of the show turn out downright chilly!!

Anyway, I find myself sitting here today thinking about how wonderful my life is and how thankful I am that I not only am able to enjoy my life but that I have all these amazing blessings in it…Amanda, the opportunity to play music,  my family, diet coke (those of you who know me understand that Diet Coke is indeed a blessing!!), and so many more!  I hear people all the time at work and out in the world who constantly complain about this and that…about things that don’t really matter in the long run.  I can tell you that I have had the highest highs and lowest lows…..I have had money and have had days when the bank account was empty.  What I have discovered is that these are only details.  We have the opportunity to live and that is far bigger and better than the circumstances within our life.  Circumstances will change and change again but who we are….who we really are….and how we decide to live is what is important.

I guess I am just ecstatic that I have the choice to enjoy life and be content with my place in this world.  Even when I want more I know that I don’t need it.  I can and will be happy with all that I have….because what I have is absolutely amazing.
