Carry On

Being a firm believer in the fact that we are given the right words for someone at exactly the right time ... this is for a special someone out there, but I don't know who you are :)

As I was running this morning, one of the songs on my playlist came on that I only recently added -- "Carry On", by Fun. Not only does it have a perfectly-timed beat to keep me running at the right pace, but it speaks of our feet on the ground, and to carry on putting one foot in front of the other. Many, many mornings I need this literal inspiration to keep me carrying on running.

The lyrics in the chorus of this song are
     If you're lost and alone
     Or you're sinking like a stone
     Carry on.
     May your past be the sound
     Of your feet upon the ground
     Carry on.


However, I also take from the song a less-literal, more-inspirational message. Easier said than done, we all need to continue placing one foot in front of the other, no matter what we are facing. There were sooooo many days, about a year ago, when I didn't want to open my eyes in the morning, let alone get out of bed to put my feet on the ground. Yet, here I am, all these months later, trying my best to live each and every day to the fullest.

You just do it! You force yourself to get up. You force yourself to put one foot in front of the other, and you refuse to let cancer (or anything else) get to you. You fight! You cry! You pray! Then, you get on with the business of living. You have to! There's no other way!!

 

 

Please, please carry on!! And, if there's anything I can do to help you carry on, just say the word ...
