Life is Like a Country Album

I thought for my first entry into my commonplace book, I'd make a more personal entry, as to give this a more intimate feel than a school assignment.
Some days my life is all bright and shiny, driving down the road, singing along with the radio about "Gettin' Down on the Farm" with Tim McGraw. Other days, like today, if my life were a movie my soundtrack would be not so happy, not so shiny. More akin to songs like "I'm Over You" by Chris Young, or like "Kiss Tomorrow Goodbye" by Luke Bryan, singing vehemently that there isn't "any reason running after something that's already gone."
While musing about this particular topic a song came to mind, a song that has been used in popular culture on more than one occasion. The song rambles on about how glad a man is that he lives in Tennessee because all of his past loves still live in Texas. That's right, "All My Ex's Live in Texas" by the  King himself, George Strait, and after today I am entirely envious of his proximity to said former loves.
However I think I will endeavor to take a page out of a Gary Allen song: "
I'm still learning how to pray
Trying hard not to stray
Try to see things your way
I'm still learning how to pray
I'm still learning how to trust
I'm still learning how to bend
It's all in someone else's hands
There's always been a bigger plan
But I don't need to understand
I'm still learning to bend"
Therefore I like to think of life as a Country Album, there will be some happy songs, some sad songs, some angry as hell songs, and who knows maybe even a love song or two. Well, a girl can hope.
