"High of 75"

Today I am reminded of one of my favorite songs which is done by one of my favorite bands, "High of 75" by Relient K. Yesterday we had an amazing day spent with family at the zoo while soaking in the sun and the 80 degree weather it provided for us. I had been stressed, but the  minute I was out in the sun with the people I love the most I was giddy and at peace. Today is a whole different story.  As I look outside the window at the snow I am overwhelmed and feeling a tad bit like Eeyore. The weather is a lot like the changing seasons of our life and they both effect us the same. These past few years have been filled with great moments of joy, but also many moments of hardship. Some days have been sunny, but many have been dark and gloomy. I need to remember that as a mother things are not always sunny and perfect, but I am blessed and I am a child of God and He will never ever leave me in the darkness. The sun may not be out, but the Son is truly alive and well!

"High Of 75"

We were talking together

I said, "what's up with this weather?"

Don't know whether or not

How sad I just got

Was of my own volition.

Or if I'm just missing the sun

And tomorrow, I know,

Will be rainy at best.

And the forecast, I know,

Is that I'll be depressed.

But I'll wait outside

Hoping that I'll catch sight of the sun.

[Chorus:]

Because on and off,

The clouds have fought

Their control over the sky

And lately the weather

Has been so Bi-polar

And Consequently so have I

And now I'm sunny with a High

of 75

Since You took my heavy heart

And made it light

And its funny how you find

You enjoy your life

When you're happy to be alive

[Chorus]

And the temperature is freezing

And then, after dark,

There is a cold frost sweeping

In over my heart

And we might break up

If I don't wake up to the sun

[Chorus]

Sunny with a High of 75

Since You took my heavy heart

And made it light (made it light)

And its funny how you find

You enjoy your life

When you're happy to be...

Alive
