Dan Fogelberg's "Part of the Plan" was fun to over hear while out walking with Misty 

"I have these moments / All steady and strong

I'm feeling so holy and humble / The next thing I know / I'm all worried and weak

And I feel myself starting to crumble / The meanings get lost

And the teachings get tossed / And you don't know what You're going to do next

You wait for the sun / But it never quite comes

Some kind of message / Comes through to you / Some kind of message comes through

And it says to you. . . Love when you can / Cry when you have to / Be who you must

That's a part of the plan / Await your arrival / With simple survival

And one day we'll all understand   source and more
