Don't Stop Believin'

---

This husband and I…

Headed out bright and early…a peaceful morning…a beautiful sunrise…he behind the wheel…

A song came on the radio…an oldie but a goodie…Don’t Stop Believin’ by Journey…a song that got an old gal pondering…

About the past…about the future…about life…

Her show choir song…that high school daughter of mine…girls in red sparkly dresses…doing the disco finger pointing move…

Their director had taught awhile…one year longer than teacher me in fact…cuz funny thing…he got the job teacher me applied for…he got the job…teacher me interviewed for…he got the high school choir director job…teacher me wanted…

But as fate would have it…one year later…dual degree me…was offered a job…as an elementary reading intervention specialist…

And that’s the road this pondering traveled…what if…that music job had come through…how different life would have been…

Would teacher me have loved it as much as she loved teaching reading…it’s hard to imagine to be honest…

And so it is…God has a plan…God always…has a plan…just don’t ever…stop believin…
​
And those daughters of mine…agree…
