Life Happens

I went to a show Friday night and it was really good. The second "band" debuted a song. It was about a series of photographs and what goes on between the shots - which is when they said real life happens.

I've been thinking about this concept a lot over the rest of the weekend, and I love it. I wish I could quote the lyrics to you, but I was too wrapped up in the song to stop and memorize...and it's too new for me to find them anywhere. So you're just going to have to take my word on it.

So if we look at the bigger picture of life, what does this concept look like? It actually has a pretty current tie-in for me, so I keep looking at it as the things that happen between what we plan for. Or things that we find that we're not necessarily looking for. Sometimes the things that sneak up on us and then burst open like a confetti-filled balloon can bring along with them the best and most enjoyable parts of life.

And the overall message, then, is what? To just go with the flow and let life happen? Or maybe to just keep your eyes open to the surprises life holds? Or maybe even just to stop and really appreciate those surprises when they come your way. I'm enjoying every minute of mine right now.
