When I got into work this morning I went through my rituals - setting up my computer, getting a cup of coffee (green tea today), checking email, perez, and launching my itunes. The past few days I have been listening to club-style music. Personally, I think it's carry-over from Vegas. Today I did something I haven't done in a long time. I set my list to "random." (I have some great tunes saved that I had completely forgotten about!)
Around 11:45, Guster started to play. I forgot how much I liked their sound. The slower stuff, not the bubblegum pop. The track "I Hope Tomorrow Is Like Today" came on and sent me into a wave of memories. So that we are on the same page, here are the lyrics:
I'm awake, you're still sleeping
The sun will rise like yesterday
Everything that we are now
Is everything we can't let go
Or its gone forever, far away
I hope tomorrow is like today
Don't you go away tomorrow
I don't think I could handle that
You're probably dreaming that you're flying on
Then you start to fall
But then you rise and shine forever
Don't go away
I hope tomorrow is like today
Doesn't this song remind you of the beginning of a relationship - when everything is fresh - new - undamaged? Where you can't stand the thought of being away from the other person... That the simple thought of them can make a bad day amazing?
This song kinda had that effect on me today. It made me remember all of the amazing things I have going for me. Especially, the love and support of my husband. I know I can be a real pain - but at the end of the day - there is no one I would rather be with.
So Brian, not that you read this... but thank you for not "flying on," for putting up with me, and for loving me as I am.
