Well, since I just posted Holding On To Smoke, I guess I should put this out there as my "good thing" for today. At least kind of, even if I'm still figuring things out. The song includes the line:
"Too scared to live but I'm afraid to die
So am I living or am I just alive?"

And my good thing is I decided earlier today that even if it kills me, I'm going to start living instead of just being alive.

Meaning I have decided to stop being so damned afraid of people. I'm going to start forcing myself to go out into the world, talk to random strangers in semi-comfortable settings, like bookstores or coffee shops.

Dammit, it doesn't go to the song it says it goes to.
The Chosic link I added will let you listen to the correct song if you click the white play button, rather than the red one for YouTube.

I didn't notice, so I word matched the title with my next one.

I guess yours is Strange Grays then. It's nice anyway.

Lovely song, it has some of that Appalachian vibe going on. I like that blending of styles, not much bluegrass left in modern country.

True, not much bluegrass anymore.

There are words in that song for you, with your newfound determination to be in the world and of the world, no longer a reticent observer. "There's no guesswork in the clockwork of the world's heart or mine".

Incidentally, I ran across this earlier today, and it is what made me start thinking it was time to stop letting my fears keep me imprisoned. Granted deciding to do something and actually doing it are different but it's at least a baby step towards changing how I have lived the last few years.
