its a beautiful day

Things are so much brighter today its not even real!

Its like a great meteor crashed into the earth yesterday and changed everything. I can feel your prayers. I can feel your love. I can feel the warmth of the sun on the horizon.



Its A Beautiful Day
U2

The heart is a bloom
Shoots up through the stony ground
There's no room
No space to rent in this town
You're out of luck
And the reason that you had to care
The traffic is stuck
And you're not moving anywhere
You thought you'd found a friend
To take you out of this place
Someone you could lend a hand
In return for grace

It's a beautiful day
Sky falls, you feel like
It's a beautiful day
Don't let it get away

I am working on the prom memory video that the junior class sells every year. Flipping through the photographs I can see what fun it was. I see the smiles... I see the laughter. I see the friends. There was an awesome moment when Britta (seen above) asked me to dance. She was last year's junior prom committee leader and we had marched this road before. I love Britta. She is so happy and bubbly. She is a leaguer and gone on two of the past three trips. When she is around I smile.

Touch me
Take me to that other place
Reach me
I know I'm not a hopeless case

What you don't have you don't need it now
What you don't know you can feel it somehow
What you don't have you don't need it now
Don't need it now
Was a beautiful day


In the glow of this wonderful morning I came across in the pile of photos I had to scan this shot of Britta and I acting like fools. It made me smile.

Its a beautiful day.... Don't let it slip away.
