Superchick and the Tao of Life

Jennn, thanks for reminding me...
I have long since decided that Superchick lyrics are some of the most encouraging and uplifting, to myself at least. There's One Girl Revolution for those days I want to kick butt and take names, Let It Be for when I'm feeling particularly beat up and Help Me Out God for those days when I just need to make it through til the next morning. But lately, the song ringing in my head is Get Up. Because of course, after I made my determination last week, I had a particularly rough one. Surgery is a definate, Ray's progress is going backwards and I've had the most desperate longings for a house of my own since I've moved here, all while struggling to make ends meet this week. But each day is not about building on the success of the day before or letting its failures hang over your head the minute it leaves the pillow. The word of God says "take up your cross daily." It's about Ray's verse. Each day has enough trouble of its own. I can't go back and fix yesterday's flubs, at least in the sense of making it like they never happened. I simply have another oportunity to try again today.
If I get up I might fall back down again, so let's get up c'mon. If I get up might fall back down again, we get up anyway. But we'll just jump and see even if it's the 20th (30th, 40th...) time, we'll just jump and see if we can fly.
Oh that today is the day I fly!
