| Ahhhh! Sunshine, 70 degrees, & a day in nature with my boy |
It's my daughter's birthday today, but it's her Dad's year to do her party, which is how I ended up with the whole day to hang with my son. We decided to head to Parfrey's Glen, near Merrimac. The weather was gorgeous, we were both glad to be out in nature, he was feeling chatty -- it was really perfect.
I've had several years now to get used to the fact that I won't always get to be with my kids on their birthday, so that didn't really get me down. But I haven't had as long to get used to not having a man around to share in adventures, and that was hard at times, especially when we visited places my last man and I'd happily visited together.
On the way home, we heard this song in the car:
People say I'm crazy doing what I'm doing,
Well they give me all kinds of warnings to save me from ruin,
When I say that I'm o.k. they look at me kind of strange,
Surely your not happy now you no longer play the game,
People say I'm lazy dreaming my life away,
Well they give me all kinds of advice designed to enlighten me,
When I tell that I'm doing Fine watching shadows on the wall,
Don't you miss the big time boy you're no longer on the ball?

I really love to watch them roll,
No longer riding on the merry-go-round,
I just had to let it go,
People asking questions lost in confusion,
Well I tell them there's no problem,
Only solutions,
Well they shake their heads and they look at me as if I've lost my mind,
I tell them there's no hurry...
I'm just sitting here doing time,
I'm just sitting here watching the wheels go round and round,
I really love to watch them roll,
No longer riding on the merry-go-round,
I just had to let it go.
And it was that last line in particular that struck me today. Yep, I just had to let it go...
