Excuse me, your life is waiting...

As I was driving around a couple of days ago, I was listening to my Mary Chapin Carpenter CD. It is amazing how I can own a CD for years and then one day I hear a song on there I have never heard before. This song was titled, "Late For Your Life."



Two years ago this month I made a wild decision. I bought a home in La Verkin, a town I had never really heard of or been to. I didn't even see the house before I bought it. I just knew I needed to make a change...and here I am.



The lyrics to this song really hit home with me:

You've been saying for the longest time that the time has come
You've been talking like you're of a mind to get some changing done
Maybe move out of the city, find some quiet little town
Where you can sit out on your back porch step
And watch the sun go down
No one knows where they belong
The search just goes on and on and on
For every choice that ends up wrong
Another one's right
A change of scene would sure be great
The thought is nice to contemplate
But the question begs why would you wait
And be late for your life

Now you might never find that perfect town
But the sun still sets on a rooftop where the city
Sounds like a Gershwin clarinet
And you might still be searching every face for one you can't forget
Love is out there in a stranger's clothes
You just haven't met him yet
No one knows where they belong
The search just goes on and on and on
For every day that ends up wrong
Another one's right
Call it chance or call it fate
Either one is cause to celebrate
Still the question begs why would you wait
And be late for your life

Call it chance baby, call it fate
Either one is cause to celebrate
And the question now is why would you wait
Don't be late for your life.

So here I am...living my life. Still wondering why I made the choice I did. Still wondering if it is in Southern Utah that a man might be living his life while I am living mine...just waiting for us to bump into each other. One thing I do know for sure is that La Verkin has been good to me and Brooklyn. And I am glad I didn't wait any longer. I don't want to be late for my life.
