bph: The only worry

A sudden holiday on a weekday and here I am with my coffee and writing. Kids are still asleep, as one of the things they enjoy about a holiday is waking up late

I am a huge country music fan! Fell in love with country music when I started living in Texas and we used to go-to many local music fairs and a few country music concerts!

It has been a long time since I listened to country music. Last week kids were playing their playlist in the car and I happened to listen to one of Zac Brown Band's songs - Knee deep.

It goes like this -

Gonna put the world away for a minute

Pretend I don't live in it

Sunshine gonna wash all my blues away

and it goes on.

One line from this song that has been playing in my mind is -

Only worry in the world is the tide gonna reach my chair

It is so beautiful. I can't stop thinking about how if the only worry we have is a very small worry like this and not big worries.

So if the only worry we have are -

I have to get up early

I have to cook

I have to do some work

I/child has to study

etc. compared to bigger worries, isn't our life blissful.

Let us keep comparing our worries to - Only worry in the world is the tide gonna reach my chair

- and believe that Sunshine gonna wash all my blues away

Haha, I know if only life was that simple, or our worries were this simple. But the fact is whether we worry or not, whatever is supposed to happen will happen. So why do we worry or think so much about every single tiny thing?

Life will be so much simpler if we just listen to the music and follow the lyrics

To music!
