The greatest part of our happiness or misery depends on our dispositions and not on our circumstances.

Walk On

As you well know, I am not a "techy" person. I have a new song added to my blog and it is the thought behind this post. I could not figure out how to attach the new song to specifically this post, SO....if you wish, go to my side bar and pick the song by Jordin Sparks titled "This Is Me Now".  I do not believe it is the original title to the song. I think it is was called 'Walk On" or maybe "You'll Never Walk Alone", from what I can tell, it depended on who say it at the time. I found it was sung by many including Frank Sinatra and Elvis Presley.

This was a song that my dad used to sing to me when I was very young. As he sang he would rock me in the old brown tweedish rocking chair. (In my minds eye I can perfectly see that chair, but for all I know it may have actually been red with blue dots).  I have always loved the song, but I recently heard it and had the chance to listen to all the words.
 I now realize that whether he meant to or not, this song represented lessons I had learned from him.
When you walk through a storm, hold your head up high and don't be afraid of the dark. At the end of the storm is a golden sky....
 I believe I am a stronger person because of the lessons my parents taught me.
