Listening to some great Paul Simon music the other day and I ran into a song I wasn't that familiar with "Something So Right". I stopped and took the time to listen to the lyrics carefully. God whispers sometimes to me to just stop and enjoy. Well the lyrics were pretty profound. I wish I could include all of them, but I copied in the last part of the song (the break) and the final chorus. They meant the most to me, because I think we all struggle with this from time to time.
For some of us it is our deepest longing.
"Some people never say the words I love you
It's not their style
To be so bold
Some people never say the words I love you
But like a child they're longing to be told, mm
When something goes wrong
I'm the first to admit it
I'm the first to admit it
And the last one to know
When something goes right
Well it's likely to lose me, mm
It's apt to confuse me
Because its such an unusual sight
I swear, I cant, I cant get used to something so right
Something so right"
- "Something So Right", Paul Simon
Be bold, tell someone you love them today!
Do it even if they never return the favor.

Great song. It's wonderful when that is the case in our life. So many of us are so blessed with so many things right but we focus on the few things that aren't. If we flip that around, life would be so much easier.
P.S.- love Paul Simon music, all decades
