A button off my Shirt...

A friend of mine has been married twice, the first one, he shared children with, the second one, well, she was his perfect match - so he thought! Turns out she was weird, and it didn't last. He asked me how you move beyond pain. I have never really known pain, and if I did, I wouldn't admit to it; I have lived by the philosophy, "You can't hurt steel". Seems to work. I like music, one good song for getting over someone is; Ronnie Milsap's "Button off my Shirt". Take a gander... Fun Lyrics: "I heard the word goin' 'round town, They say that you're makin' a fool out of me, Baby it took me some time to come around, To realize you were not what you seemed. Each day's passin', the clock's been my friend, Help me get back on my feet again, Like the button off-a my shirt, just an every day distraction, You'd be over reactin' if you think that I still hurt, Your just a button off-a my shirt and someday I will replace you." So it goes. Another pal of mine, married once, his wife left him too. (What is it about my pals?) He is happy, but he has questions. Who wouldn't? So my theory about all this is: Everyday life is going to give you something that challenges you; Health, Love, Kids, Money, Angst - it comes in all shapes and sizes. Some we bring on ourselves, some others bring to us. Sometimes, its alittle of both. Life is fraught with good and bad. Enough good in your life will help you "cope" with the bad. Or, if things really suck, you can eat a popsicle. Those work too.
