Beach it

It seems like life is full of Promises, Promises from all sides, the good, bad & ugly. Whether it’s the potentials of life (and never meeting any of it), constantly being down on luck somehow (not just financially), and the pandemic seemed to make things worse (like always being 2nd best).

The pile of bills are stacking up, yet here we are… sometimes you just have to say Hakuna Matata!

I remember when I was in the Lighthouse Brigade Marching Band… We’d literally spend hours working on our field shows, and sometimes certain sections would need to be worked on more than others, so the rest of us would be told to “beach it”, meaning sit down, take a rest, whatever… it always cracked me up because we were at a practice football field at my high school, at least a couple miles from the actual beaches of Lake Michigan… those were the days where it literally was a problem-free philosophy… Nose to the grind, work hard, play our music, and when we hit the show field, literally nothing else mattered. We all belonged there.

***p.s.*** To participate in blogophilia, check in each Sunday to either Facebook or the blog topic parameters. You don’t have to have a blog page to write, you can do it from your Google Drive, Facebook post, etc. And, you can take it any direction… short story, poem, humor, however way you want to use the topic & prompts.
