thoughtful thursday

Sometimes (or all the time) I have these random thoughts in my head that I just want/need to get out. Hence, Thoughtful Thursday. Maybe this is the only Thursday I will feel like being thoughtful. Or maybe I will do it every Thursday. Who knows.

The other day I was actually in the car by myself so I was listening to the radio as opposed to the months-old "King George and the Ducky" Veggietales CD from Chickfila. I flipped to the country station just as the song "Remember When" by Alan Jackson came on. I don't listen to country radio all that much but it seriously seems like every.single.time. I do, this song comes on. Annnnnd, every.single.time. I hear it, it makes me cry! So silly! But I mean really, have you listened to these words?

Remember when, the sound of little feet,

was the music we danced to week to week.

 I may or may not be tearing up just typing it.

Remember when, old ones died and new were born

Life was changed, disassembled, rearranged.

I always think of my Papa at that part. We lost him a little over a year before I got pregnant with Noah. I sure wish my boys could know him. They would love him and his silliness. 

Yep I'm definitely crying now. 

Remember when, 30 seemed so old,

Now looking back, it's just a stepping stone

To where we are, where we've been

Said we'd do it all again

Remember when.

I mean, HELLO? How could this 30-year-old momma not cry when I hear that? 
I'm not saying it's the best song you will ever hear, but I just bet you'll tear up a little bit. 

Oh, Alan. You will always rock that mustache and curly blonde mullet won't you?

Did I mention that these thoughts in my head are totally random?!? :) Have a happy and thoughtful Thursday! We've been enjoying the strange Spring-like weather on this Groundhog Day, even though Punxsutawney Phil insists we'll get 6 more weeks of winter.
