It’s been difficult for me to find or feel any joy lately and I don’t know why.

I heard a song today that made my soul smile though. It is a Dierks Bentley song called Living. These are the lyrics:

Some days you just breath in
Just try to break even
Sometimes your heart’s
Poundin’ out of your chest

Sometimes it’s just beatin’
Some days you just forget
What all you’ve been given
Some days you just get back

Yeah, some days you’re just alive
Some days you’re livin’
Some days you’re livin’

Like you never die
Blue’s a little bluer up in the sky
You’re high’s a little high
You feel that fire you’ve been missing
Some days you’re living

It’a beautiful world sometimes I don’t see so clear
Some days you start singin’
And you don’t need a reason
Sometimes the world’s just right

Your clear eyes ain’t even blinkin’
Got a heart full of grateful
For all you’ve been given
Some days you just get by

Yeah, some days you’re just alive
Some days you’re livin’ (ooh) mm hmm
Some days you’re livin’ (ooh) yeah
Livin’ like you’ll never die

Blue’s a little bluer up in the sky
You’re high’s a little high
You feel that fire you’ve been missin’
Some days you’re living (ooh) mm hm
Some days you’re living (ooh)

The song reminds me that some days you’re just existing and some days you’re really alive. It’s okay to just exist sometimes. Most days are like that. Once in a while though, we’re fortunate enough to catch a glimpse of how beautiful life really is and to realize how lucky we are to be a part of the universe.

The powerful play goes on and you may contribute a verse. ~Walt Whitman
