I wasn't going to write today because I thought I was at a loss for words. But, it's funny that at just the moment you're going to give it up, like a flash from God, something pops into your head.
Yesterday I bought The Band Perry's Cd. I listened straight though and realized it was pretty awesome. Tonight I was listening again and a song really struck me. The song is not a slow, sappy, love song that makes you want to bawl your eyes out, it's actually a pretty upbeat song that shouldn't cause you to stop and ponder the basics of life. I don't know if it's because I have been thinking a lot about life lately or if it was spending time with the Orr family today that made me truly begin to realize some things truly are not worth wasting your time over. We should just kick bad habits to the curb instead of worrying about them day in and day out, only creating for ourselves some type of pity party with a one person guest list.
Even if you can't sympathize with me on this topic maybe you'll fall in love with The Band Perry as I have.
"Quittin' You"
I don't know what I was thinkin'
You were no good but you could do some
Fancy talkin'
I'm not your Trixie Delight
Or a gumball machine
You can keep your quarter man
'Cause you won't get nothing sweet out of me
I'm quittin' quittin' quittin'
I'm quittin' you
Like a girl wants her chocolate, yeah
I know that I'll miss you
But I'm quittin' quittin' quittin'
I'm not kiddin' I'm kickin' you
'Cause you're my bad habit and
I'm quittin' you
I don't know what the heck you were thinkin'
It's gonna gonna take a better man,
I'm bettin', to win my hand
I'm not gonna play your game
I don't like the high stakes
I'd rather sit alone at home
Playin' one more round of Old Maid
I'm quittin' quittin' quittin'
I'm quittin' you
Like a gambler leaving Vegas, boy
I know that I'll miss you
But I'm quittin' quittin' quittin'
I'm not kiddin' I'm kickin' you
'Cause you're my bad habit and I'm quittin' you
Cold Turkey
Giving you the cold shoulder
Off like a band-aid
One quick sting
Then it's over
I'm quittin' quittin' quittin'
I'm not kiddin' I'm kickin' you
'Cause your my bad habit
And the good Lord won't have it
You're my bad habit and I'm quittin' you
These may not be the greatest words of wisdom you have ever heard but they sure meant the world to me! :)

Good words of wisdom, but as I have always said this is easier said than accomplished!
