Memories

Another one of those Mondays with A LOT on the schedule. So, let’s just do a quick toast (it’s five o’clock somewhere, as the man says), and wish each other the best day we can have. Hang in there, kick butt, or just make it through. Whatever it is you need to do today. There are a lot of people who love you, and you probably couldn’t even name them all.

The picture above is a favorite memory of mine, with my boys at our favorite pizza place. Jonathan in the foreground and left to right behind him, Josiah, me, and Micah.

Here’s to the ones that we got
Cheers to the wish you were here, but you’re not
‘Cause the drinks bring back all the memories
Of everything we’ve been through
Toast to the ones here today
Toast to the ones that we lost on the way
‘Cause the drinks bring back all the memories
And the memories bring back, memories bring back you

Today’s song was written by Adam Levine of Maroon 5 and released in September of 2019. Somehow it feels like the song has been around a lot longer, maybe that’s because it’s inspired by the chord progression in Pachelbel’s “Canon” but reworked from D into B major. Here’s Maroon 5 with “Memories.”
