It's ok to be sad (Mary Chapin Carpenter)

Wie geht's?

The title of this post comes from her song of the same name (on her latest album - The Dirt And The Stars).

The rest of the song's opening verse goes like this:

It's ok to be sad, it's alright to be lonely

You won't always feel bad

Somebody told me

The album's lyrics pretty clearly detail some recent bad times for Mary. As she sings -  all broken hearts break differently.

I really like the song -  It's Ok To Be Sad. She sums things up by saying, 'These feelings like weather, they come and they go.'

I guess we all have those moments. 

I often get blindsided. 

It could be by a colleague's comment (as it was this week), or a song lyric (usually it's that), a storyline on a television programme, a line in a novel, a poem, or a phrase someone says. Anything. 

And I'm back inside myself.

It's ok to be sad sometimes.

Love and peace - WNP
