My husband and I like to take advantage of any moments when there are a few reprieves from the monotony of illness. Often we purchase tickets for theatre and then we are disappointed when I can’t attend. Tonight we felt quite smart when we decided to go out for dinner and to just show up at the theatre one hour before showtime. Tickets go on sale 50% off. Perhaps because of the long weekend we got really good seats and enjoyed a light musical called The Drowsy Chaperone. I was particularly moved by one of its songs, “As We Stumble Along.” I felt like I could relate to its lyrics “Seeking answers anywhere, Never sure of where to turn or what to do?” And yet, “Still we bumble our way through life’s crazy labyrinth”. Then each verse concludes with , “And the best that we can do is hope a blue bird, will sing his song as we stumble along.” I experienced that blue bird singing tonight when we sat in a restaurant eating our meals and then we later attended a lighthearted musical. While I continue to look for ways to optimize my health, I often feel like I’m stumbling along trying to find answers but I am determined to always be aware of that blue bird singing since he fills me with hope that my heart’s desire will become a reality.
As we stumble along
on life’s funny journey.
As we stumble along
into the blue.
We look here and we look there.
Seeking answers anywhere.
Never sure of where to turn or what to do.
Still we bumble our way
through life’s crazy labyrinth.
Barely knowing left from right
nor right from wrong.
And the best that we can do
is hope a blue bird,
will sing his song
as we stumble along.
