(*Please note that I am still accepting questions and will answer them in Friday’s post…there are some really good ones so far, keep ‘em coming! And to those lurkers out there, you TOTALLY make me day when you say hi! Seriously!)

On my drive home from work yesterday evening, I took a break from the rockstar’s CD (which has been in the player for months now), and flipped on the radio. The sun was shining through my sunroof, the promise of Spring with all its qualities of renewal and rebirth after a cold, harsh winter…well…it just consumed me.

I don’t know if it was the warmth of the sun on my skin, or the hope that perhaps the barren, cold and dark months, filled with days I’ve trudged through, that I thought would never end are finally, FINALLY over…but I found myself acutely aware of a song that began to play on the radio. As I sat in traffic and listened to the lyrics, I found myself lifting my head, and smiling.

And in that simple moment it struck me; time has once again done what it does best.

It heals.

As I drove on, my heart felt just a little lighter…and that feeling, is what I’ll remember the next time those proverbial clouds and April showers come out to play in my mind as they sometimes do. Because as sure as the seasons will pass, and Spring will turn to Summer then Fall, and back to Winter once more…time brings with it the promise of healing.

And sometimes, thats all we can hope for.

Oh
How ’bout a round of applause?
Yeah
Standin ovation
Ohwoah Yeah
Yeah yeah yeah yeah

You look so dumb right now
Standin’ outside my house
Tryin’ to apologize
You’re so ugly when you cry
Please
Just cut it out

Don’t tell me you’re sorry,
Cause you’re not,
And baby when I know,
You’re only sorry you got caught

But you put on quite a show.
Really had me goin’
But now it’s time to go,
Curtain’s finally closin’.
That was quite a show.
Very entertainin’.
But it’s over now.
Go on and take a bow.

Grab your clothes and get gone.
You better hurry up,
Before the sprinklers come on.
Talkin ’bout,
‘Girl I love you, you’re the one.’
This just looks like a rerun.
Please.
What else is on?

And don’t tell me you’re sorry,
Cause you’re not.
Baby when I know,
You’re only sorry you got caught.

But you put on quite a show.
Really had me goin’
But now it’s time to go,
Curtain’s finally closin’.
That was quite a show.
Very entertainin’.
But it’s over now.
Go on and take a bow.

And the award for the best lie goes to you!
For makin’ me believe
That you could be faithful to me.
Let’s hear your speech.

How ’bout a round of applause?
Standin’ ovation

But you put on quite a show.
Really had me goin’
But now it’s time to go,
Curtain’s finally closin’.
That was quite a show.
Very entertainin’.
But it’s over now.
Go on and take a bow.
But it’s over now.
