Most of you are too young to remember that song spilling out of the car radio on a warm summer evening. The song begins as mellow and pure as young hearts in love and then escalates to Albert's tenor wailing over "Feelings, whoa, whoa my life of feelings...".

It sorta made those of us in the throes of youth feel like we were justified in all of our angst and pain over whatever melodramatic chaos happened to ensnare us at that moment. So my question is, what about now? I am an adult of almost half a decade and yep, sometimes I just want to wail and sing it out. I might change the lyrics a little to suit my gloomy mood and make me feel just a little more sympathy for my circumstance. Of course, I'm the only one who is going to sympathize because in actuality my life is beautiful and God has been very good to me. But I know even He has a sense of humor and won't mind if I take one verse on the grounds of overworked mother; stressed out on homeschool and housework and Basset Hound puppy training, and sing it loud and long until I giggle myself back to reality.
Be sure to include nasal congestion and sore muscles when you indulge, it really makes for an unmatched performance!
Have a great day!
