Just. ABBA

So, in thinking over the past few days blog posts and deep thoughts it has become apparent that you all really dig ABBA.  I just now caught up on all my emails and blog comments from that day, and I need to say..thank you.

I never dreamed that my brain cleansing post would cause my 'feel good emails' folder to double overnight...and for that, I thank you. 

I also want to clarify that I really was over the position that I lost.  Really.  It was just finding out why that kinda caught me off guard for a few days.  But the position, well...let's put it this way.  Have you ever in your life thought that you knew what the best plan for you was only to find out later that it actually wasn't the best plan?  That the road you grudgingly had to take instead of your planned route ended up being better afterall?

You see...had I gotten what I wanted back then, I wouldn't be here.  I would have stayed in my cozy little corner and had no clue that all of you were here.  But because of lost opportunities...I ventured out of my cozy corner...and I gained.  And I think that somewhere in there is an even deeper message, but you know...my brain is way too tired today to articulate it.  Just trust me, it all worked out for the best, and I'm beyond content.

But thank-you for all the emails.  I'm considering adding an ABBA a day lyric so as to get some more emails and find out who a few more of my readers are.  ;)

Gonna do my very best and it ain’t no lie
If you put me to the test, if you let me try
Take a chance on me

;)  be good!

ABBA is one of my favorites. If you ever get the opportunity to see Mama Mia... DO IT! It is so. much. fun. Oh, and it's loud and everyone is bouncing out of their seats by the end. ; )

I always figure that God has me right where I am supposed to be..it may not be the path I conscientiously choose, but if I just keep on the road or walk the journey, as I look back things always come into perspective for me. Love reading your wise thoughts! So real! Have a great evening. :)

Remind me to tell you someday about getting caught in the newsroom at 5 in the morning singing Dancing Queen. (Shut up, I worked overnights, I was trying to stay awake.) I thought I was alone :)

On my way to Vegas for Memory Trends they did a contest where we could guess the weight of the plane we were on, passengers, luggage, cargo, crew, fuel, tare weight, etc. They gave us the tare weight and fuel weight but we guessed at the rest. I haven't done so much math without a calculator for a long time, but the prize was two tickets to Mama Mia and I REALLY wanted those tickets! A lady two rows back beat me, but I was within 400 pounds, so I still feel confident bragging about it, even if I had to sing ABBA to myself in the shower!

"One of us is crying, One of us is lying, In her lonely bed.
Staring at the ceiling. Wishing she was somewhere else instead."
