A day when I'm the Bug.....
Dire Straits legend, Mark Knopfler, wrote this beautiful line.
(f you haven't heard of Dire Straits, you have some work to do over the weekend.)
Read it again, “Sometimes you’re the windshield, sometimes you’re the bug.”
Meaning: sometimes, you see everything so clearly and right in front of you, and sometimes life smacks you in the face and splatters you to bits.
He essentially described life through this beautiful line. And how true!
Good times can be fleeting, but so are bad times. I am a relentless hunter of silver linings, and stubbornly optimistic about the Ups after the Downs - in my career, life, relationships, finances etc.
The last couple of days I've experienced being the bug, but I have only been grateful about my experiences and I'm sure I'll be a windshield soon as I have been in the past!
So, if you've been feeling like a Bug recently, I say chin up. Don't stay there, but don't fight the feeling as well!
This too shall pass!
Wait to be the windshield and soak in the moment when it comes!
Stay well.
I'll leave you here, with this beautifully written Life Mantra.
Well it's a strange old game - you learn it slow
One step forward and it's back to go
You're standing on the throttle
You're standing on the brakes
In the groove 'til you make a mistake
Sometimes you're the windshield
Sometimes you're the bug
Sometimes it all comes together baby
Sometimes you're a fool in love
Sometimes you're the louisville slugger baby
Sometimes you're the ball
Sometimes it all comes together baby
Sometimes you're going lose it all
You gotta know happy - you gotta know glad
Because you're gonna know lonely
And you're gonna know bad
When you're rippin' and a ridin'
And you're coming on strong
You start slippin' and slidin'
And it all goes wrong because
Sometimes you're the windshield
Sometimes you're the bug
Sometimes it all comes together baby
Sometimes you're a fool in love
Sometimes you're the louisville slugger baby
Sometimes you're the ball
Sometimes it all comes together baby
Sometimes you're going lose it all
One day you got the glory
One day you got none
One day you're a diamond
And then you're a stone
Everything can change in the blink of an eye
So let the good times roll
Before we say goodbye, because
Sometimes you're the windshield
Sometimes you're the bug
Sometimes it all comes together baby
Sometimes you're a fool in love
Sometimes you're the louisville slugger baby
Sometimes you're the ball
Sometimes it all comes together baby
Sometimes you're going lose it all
