"Life is lived forward, but understood backward. It is not until we are down the road and we stand on the mountain looking back through the valley that we can appreciate the terrain God has allowed us to scale.” Jill Savage

Today is song day. A day I list some songs that I like that feel positive. Don't know why I listed this one today exactly, but I like it and I like Jo Dee Messina personally. I think she's a strong person, a strong women - I believe she had to do some 'work' to get there.


Artist/Band: Messina, Jo Dee
Lyrics for Song: I'm Alright
Lyrics for Album: Greatest Hits


Well it's been a long time
glad to see your face
I knew we'd meet again another time another place
Can't believe it's been so many years
You'd better grab a chair and a couple of beers
Lookin' good in you three piece suit
You know, I always knew you'd take the business route
You were always the one to follow the light
and you look like you're doing alright


Been singin' for my rent and singin' for my supper
I'm above the below and below the upper
I'm stuck in the middle where money gets tight
But I guess I'm doin' alrightI'm all,
I'm all, I'm alright
It's a beautiful day not a cloud in sight
so I guess I'm doin' alright
o- oh, o - oh, I'm alright

Got a good old friend here with me tonight
and I guess I'm doin' alright
Well we had a lot of dreams when we were younger
They thought we were crazy but we had the hunger
We kept a lot of friends, skipped a lot of class
Been on top of the world and knocked on our ____


We lost touch, we lost in love
We lost our minds when things got tough,
butBeatin' time is a losin' fight
and I guess I'm doin' alrightI'm all,


I'm all, I'm alright
It's a beautiful day not a cloud in sight
so I guess I'm doin' alright
o - oh, o - oh, I'm alright
Got a good old friend here with me tonight
and I guess I'm doin' alright
Well I guess I'm doin' alright


Well I hate to see this evening end
God only knows when I'll see you again
Just send a fax or send me a letter
rr give me a call that would even be better

Give the kids a kiss for me and say hello to the family
And tell them all my future's lookin' bright
Well, I miss 'em but I'm doin' alright
I said I miss 'em but I'm doin' alright

I'm all, I'm all, I'm alright
It's a beautiful day not a cloud in sight
so I guess I'm doin' alright
o- oh, o - oh, I'm alright
Got a good old friend here with me tonight
and I guess I'm doin' alright
Well I guess I'm doin' alrightI'm doin' alright

So as we go along today, let's keep telling and singing to our souls, that we're doing alright.
(You should hear me sing),Chatty
