Good to be Alive

Yesterday was the last day of the kids' unicycling club and they did a showcase for the parents as a grand finale. I still feel like when I walk into this gym and see kids doing amazing things on unicycles that I am walking into a magical world (almost like opening a door and seeing a bunch of Smurfs in a forest or something just as whimsical and fun and amazing!) 

Mr. Roberts, their PE teacher, is one of the most patient and incredible teachers around. Cheers all around for a job well done in encouraging persistence, patience and teaching crazy new skills! 

On my way to the airport this morning, I listened to this song and was so thankful for the reminder it was that it is indeed good to be alive. 

It seemed to fit with the unicycling pictures above since the same feeling of gratitude bubbles up inside when I watch Anna and Taylor on their one-wheeled wonders... 

"Good To Be Alive" by Jason Gray 

Hold on
Is this really the life I'm living?
Cause I don't feel like I deserve it
Every day that I wake, every breath that I take you’ve given
So right here, right now
While the sun is shining down

I wanna live like there's no tomorrow
Love like I'm on borrowed time
It's good to be alive, yeah

Hold on
If the life that we've been given
Is made beautiful in the living
And the joy that we get brings joy to the heart of the giver
Then right here, right now
This is the song I'm singing out

I wanna live like there's no tomorrow
Love like I'm on borrowed time
It's good to be alive
[x2]

I won’t take it for granted
I won’t waste another second
All I want is to give you
A life well lived, to say “thank you”

I wanna live like there's no tomorrow
Love like I'm on borrowed time
It's good to be, it's good to be alive

I wanna live like there's no tomorrow
Love like I'm on borrowed time
It's good to be alive

I won’t take it for granted
I won’t waste another second
All I want is to give you
A life well lived, to say “thank you”
