Leaves Return To The Trees In Autumn

Why did we all like that American Idol anthem "Have You Had A Bad Day?" Even if you hated it, you liked it. The black and blue mark theory...hurts when you poke it but don't stop poking it.

We liked it because it was wonderfully cliche. We have horrible days, weeks...And the world wants us to get through it fast so we can return to who we are. But in returning to who we are we need first go through the mourning of where we have been and what WE WERE.

The next time you are in the hole, the next time your loved one is in it, the next time I am in it...let us remember that come winter (east coast mostly) the leaves die and they fall. Do you get mad at the trees? No. Because you know full well that come Autumn, the leaves will return to the trees and they will be more vibrant than you recalled them ever being. Kind of like us.
