A couple of years ago, as I lay awake for the 21st day in a row with insomnia -- worrying about my dad's cancer and my mom's alzheimers -- I decided to get up to take a Tylenol PM. I had a worn old cotten t-shirt on with the 'life is good' logo emblazoned on the front. As I glanced in the mirror half asleep I said aloud "life is boog...?' and I realized my life was just that BOOG.
For years my life had been so good, and now everything was backwards with seemingly no end in sight. All of the sudden BOOG was my inspiration -- my reminder that someday, somehow, the darkness would turn to light, the sadness would somehow become joy -- that I WOULD be happy again.
life is boog reminds me that tragedy is temporary -- that life is good, and that only sometimes it is not. boog is not forever.
For all of you that are experiencing what seems like never-ending tragedy, please, please remember that.
