On my iPod lately: April Smith

I hope that brought a smile to your face.

I've got a perfect body, cause my eyelashes catch my sweat.

Have you ever cheated death?

I have.

Multiple times in the past few months.

I'm a cautious person.

But even cautious people are vulnerable.

Vulnerable to hurt, pain, sickness, and other objects.

But again, today, I cheated death. I'm not trying to be dramatic. Just grateful.

After the trauma of seeing my beloved towed away from me and crying way too many tears on someone's handsome peacoat, I sat on my bed folding laundry.

As strange as it seems that mundane task made me feel human again.

I felt like I was back inside my body and not living this strange out of body experience.

I sat there folding shirts and pairing socks listening to Pandora as if my day had gone as planned.

The song "Folding Chair" by Regina Spektor came on and I lost it.

Tears all over again.

How lucky I am to be alive.

How lucky I am to have the family I do.

How lucky I am to have the friends I do.

And how lucky I am to have a perfect body from a loving Heavenly Father.

Obsessed.

Is it just me or does this song depict a hopeless romantic?

Either way I'm in love.

P.s. They sound just as good live.
