(cynical, me? OH, surely not!)
And, there is a line from a play and a line from a short story that *really* fit my life (yeah, I know it asked for a song, but these really fit best.) The short story line is the one I use as my signature file - "We are all misfits, I guess, inthe theatre..."
The play line in from a production of Winnie the Pooh I did in high school and again in college. (yup, the children's theatre thing again). I don't recall the exact quote, but it basically says- "It isn't a very important life, but it is a happy one." Yup, that pretty much sums up my life as a community theatre serf. I may not get paid much, but I'm doing something that makes me happy- which is a hell of a lot more than anyone else can say. Wow, I've never thought of it that way before....I really AM one of the luckiest people in the universe. You know, ignore the songs I mentioned earlier. I don't really think they apply (well, maybe sometimes, but only in specific situations). I think the quotes are really the ones that most apply to me. Amazing the odd places that true realizations come to you.....Thank you all....
