Try

I had a lovely evening tonight at a friend's house -- she ordered us some food, and then after her babe went to bed, we watched a movie, Philomena. It was an excellent flick -- not an easy watch -- but ultimately the story of a woman with a profound faith in humankind, even those humans who have been anything but kind to her.

On the way home, I heard this song on the radio:

You don't have to try so hard
You don't have to give it all away
You just have to get up, get up, get up, get up
You don't have to change a single thing

You don't have to try, try, try, try
You don't have to try, try, try, try
You don't have to try, try, try, try
You don't have to try
You don't have to try

Oh

And I think I'm gonna adopt it as my theme song. The main feeling I have in my life right now is one of bewilderment. I don't get it. I don't see the grand plan. But I do know this in a way I never have before:

You don't have to try so hard
You don't have to give it all away
You just have to get up, get up, get up, get up
You don't have to change a single thing

And man, is it ever a huge relief:

You don't have to try so hard
You don't have to bend until you break
You just have to get up, get up, get up, get up
You don't have to change a single thing

You don't have to try, try, try, try
You don't have to try, try, try, try
You don't have to try, try, try, try
You don't have to try

No I don't. Not nearly as hard as I've been trying...
