What a Beautiful Ride

Sometimes I run across music that captures my mood, my mood in another time.
Right now, I'm feeling great; no back tinges, my hips are allowing me to ride the exercise bike 2-3 times a week for 15 minutes and playing disc golf is as good as it's been in a long time!

So today, I was at work reviewing technical documents, listening to my iPod when I ran across the song below. It's by country western artist Gary Allan. I was given a copy from my brother during a visit to St. Louis in July. I've listened to it a number of times, but today it meant a little more.

I'm at one of those 'top of the roller coaster' ride moments, things are going well, even with a Dr. appointment next Tuesday.....

Life Ain't Always Beautiful - Gary Allan

Life ain't always beautiful
Sometimes it's just plain hard
Life can knock you down, it can break your heart

Life ain't always beautiful
You think you're on your way
And it's just a dead end road at the end of the day

But the struggles make you stronger
And the changes make you wise
And happiness has its own way of takin it's sweet time

CHOURS
No, life ain't always beautiful
Tears will fall sometimes
Life ain't always beautiful
But it's a beautiful ride

Life ain't always beautiful
Some days I miss your smile
I get tired of walkin all these lonely miles

And I wish for just one minute
I could see your pretty face
Guess I can dream, but life don’t work that way

But the struggles make me stronger
And the changes make me wise
And happiness has its own way of takin it's sweet time

No, life ain't always beautiful
But I know I'll be fine
Hey, life ain't always beautiful
But it's a beautiful ride
What a beautiful ride
