How The Family and Me Shifted Our Mood From Cloudy to Sunny
Greetings from the south of France where it’s sunny 300 days a year…
…and it rained cats and dogs yesterday.
Melissa and I flew over on Friday to meet up with daughter Maddie who’s been traveling across Europe for the last few months.
Here, in one of the most beautiful places on earth, the gray, rainy weather dampened our shoes…
…and our mood…
…for a while…
…until Maddie fired up some John Prine on the car stereo…
I was sitting in the bathtub, counting my toes
When the radiator broke, water all froze
I got stuck in the ice without my clothes
Naked as the eyes of a clown
I was crying, “ice cubes,” hoping I’d croak
When the sun come through the window, the ice all broke
I stood up and laughed, thought it was a joke
That’s the way that the world goes ’round
That’s the way that the world goes ’round
You’re up one day, the next you’re down
It’s half an inch of water and you think you’re gonna drown
That’s the way that the world goes ’round
That’s what they call a mood-lifter.
(Can anyone hear that verse and NOT smile?)
So we stopped crying ice cubes and enjoyed the rest of the day.
There are many business and life lessons in the above, but I’ll leave it to you to unpack.
(My work is done here. I’m on vacation.)
Au revoir.
