The title of this post is actually a song by Kansas.
It is my favorite song in the world .
Hope it plays at my funeral.
I often have it my head, listen to it ( presently playing as I`m writing this) and never get tired of it.
It`s an oldie but a goodie and darn they don`t write music like that anymore!
I wasn`t born in the right decade.
I`ve had this song in my head ALL WEEK .
Why ?
For many reasons.
First, it`s my son`s 10th anniversary January 31st .
10 years ago , Superbowl Sunday, my first darlng was born.
It`s been 10 years of sweat, blood, tears, pure joy, worries, bliss, happiness.
He has taught me soooo much over these years.
I am a better person because of him and know what unconditional love is.
He`s also taught me that 10 years passes VERY quickly, it flies.
To carry on wayward : idiom meaning to continue, despite the difficulties, the obstacles.
My son or my kids are not the only people that come to mind when I hear this song.
I also see students who have or have had difficulties, problems, worries.
It`s not easy being a teen.
Heck it`s not easy being an adult either but at least life experience has given us tools, arms and shields to help us carry on wayward.
And at school, I often see students carry on despite the hardships, with friends not too far away.
And to them I want to whisper in their ear, carry on wayward with your head high. The storm is almost over and the blue skies are just a few clouds away.
Even I have to tell myself the same thing at times.
Is it the winter blues,the end of the term, the report cards, the réforme ?
Maybe.
Let`s just say I listen to the song quite often on my Ipod these days.
A few mminutes ago I was plating Guitar Hero II with my son and guess which song we played ?
Who would have thought 10 years ago that I`d be playing this exact song with my OWN son .
So to my son, my other kids ( students ), here are the lyrics and Zee song.
Feel free to sing along but let me warn you it is a highly addictive song.
It is also a song featuring in a Supernatural episode.
No wonder I adore this show!
So here goes, song AND lyrics just for you, just below the pics.
Let me know how you enjoy it.
Do YOU have a favorite song ?
Tata darlings.

I belive the GH picture captures the essence of the FROHLICH MANTRA: fun, just like work, is SERIOUS business

Darn straight, it ain`t fun if we suck, that`s my motto and Filou`s too unfortunately.And yours darling, the Frohlich motto I guess.
Thing is, he`s better than me at GH.
Notice how I always play with a leg and foot up ( what`s with that anyway ?) ? If I could only jog while playing, it could be a total body workout.
The Habs won ! The game just finished. Filou will be thrilled to the gills!!!

I look serious playing because I wanted to beat my son.
That didn`t happen, the little bugger is better, but then again, he practises more.
Que sera, sera.
So you lost?! Your son is good? But you will win a day for sure!
See you tomorow in class
Bye! Annie

Hey Annie ( :
Hope you had a nice trip to Montreal ! The week hasn't start yet and I already look forward to March 9th to see you again ( : I found the answer to the enigma - if I'm not wrong - . Those little things drive me crazy when I don't find their answer, seriously !
My brother's buttering up my mother to get Guitar Hero ... well, he's loosing his time, I found a better way to get it : WORK. Yes, here are my plans for the next week : work. I'm not especially enjoying that part but after I'll get the game and a new addiction too :)
Have a nice Semaine de Relache , Annie !
Tata xxx
