April 4

I was sitting in my comfy chair this evening, innocently watching the American Idol results show. Near the end of the hour, Carrie Underwood returned to sing her new single, See You Again. I paid attention in a minimal way for a few minutes. And then I clued in to what she was really singing, and I felt like I'd been struck by lightning. (Well, not that I've ever been struck by lightning. It felt like a tremendous jolt.)

I think it's worth it to just paste a few of the words here, because they express so perfectly my feelings on life post-Logan. I really believe I couldn't possibly say it any better than this:

Sometimes I feel my heart is breaking
But I stay strong and I hold on cause I know
I’ll see you again, oh
This is not where it ends
I will carry you with me, yeah yeah

It's such a tremendous testament to the truth that this life isn't the end-all, be-all of existence. An in-your-face wink. It's been a while since I've had one of those. And to think, I would've missed it had I not been enjoying my down time in front of the old tube.
