High Of 75

I saw the Relient K concert on Wednesday and since then have been jamming to them whenever I get the chance.  Today, on the way back from trivia, I heard a lyric that I've heard hundreds of times but never really paid much attention to.  

"We might break up before I don't wake up to the sun."

I love this line.  It's all about the fluidity of life.  It always goes on.  Even when relationships don't work out, or plans fall through, or jobs and situations and all that seem really crummy, life always goes on.  The sun will go down and come up again in a sea of resplendence.  Every new day is a chance to embrace life once more.  It's a beautiful gift, one that should never be squandered, even if our problems and circumstances seem dire.  I mean, in perspective, they're not...

We just need to look on the bright side of things.  If we always think life is "sunny with a high of 75," then our dispositions will be lighter and happier.  If it's rainy, then we're looking for that negativity in life and allow it to sweep over our thoughts and minds and every crevice that our life inhabits.  It's a constant choice, a choice that is never easy to make, even after it's been made thousands of times.  But looking on the positive side of things, even if it's only to fulfill a faux reality to make you appear happier, will eventually lead to more satisfying times.
