Coast of Carolina

I'm listening to Jimmy's new Encores album, a recording of songs he's performed acoustic at his concerts. Its amazing to see. I love when he does this at the concerts while the band is taking a break. Then they'll slowly filter in. Anyway, I adore the song Coast of Carolina, especially the chorus.

From the bottom of my heart
Off the coast of Carolina
After one or two false starts
I believe we found our stride
And the walls that won't come down
We can decorate or climb
Or find some way to get around
Cause I'm still on your side
From the bottom of my heart.

Goodness knows I've had just a few bad starts and hiccups along the way. But I think I've found some footing in how to navigate this crazy existence. And (not using the lemonade analogy) when a wall appears in our path we should paint it, go over, dig under, walk around or just hang a picture on it. Either way, it is what it is so no matter what, SS&H (Stay Smiling and Happy.....to use a phrase from Russ who says this at the end of everything he writes).

Look on the bright side and go do the happy thing. Ima gonna. :)
