Shake It Off

What an awesome morning! I got to watch my son's first-ever cross country meet, which as a former cross country runner myself, was a dream come true for me!

I'm so proud of his resilience: shortly after being one of 39 kids cut from the JV soccer team, he made the decision to join Cross Country. And then, after only one week of practice, he competed in this first meet. Wow!

On the way home in the car, my kids and I were having fun with some of the goofy music we found on the radio, including this song, which feels pretty apropos:

But I keep cruising
Can't stop, won't stop moving
It's like I got this music
In my mind
Saying, "It's gonna be alright."

'Cause the players gonna play, play, play, play, play
And the haters gonna hate, hate, hate, hate, hate
Baby, I'm just gonna shake, shake, shake, shake, shake
I shake it off, I shake it off
Heart-breakers gonna break, break, break, break, break
And the fakers gonna fake, fake, fake, fake, fake
Baby, I'm just gonna shake, shake, shake, shake, shake
I shake it off, I shake it off

I never miss a beat
I'm lightning on my feet
And that's what they don't see, mmm-mmm
That's what they don't see, mmm-mmm...
