This Is The Stuff

This is the stuff. 

Have you heard this song recently from Francesca Battistelli?  I hear it everyday at least 5x and always chuckle and of course sing to it loudly but off tune.

This is really like my anthem these days! 



I lost my keys (I need a beeper or something for my keys so when I clap it beeps; they have those don't they?)
In the great unknown
And call me please
'Cause I can't find my phone
(The problem with finding my phone is it is usually on silent/vibrate so even calling it to find it is tough)

This is the stuff that drives me crazy.
This is the stuff that's getting to me lately.
In the middle of my little mess
I forget how big I'm blessed

This is the stuff that gets under my skin
But I've got to trust You know exactly what You're doing
It might not be what I might choose
But this is the stuff you use
(Amen)

45 in a 35
Sirens and fines
While I'm running behind
(Life story always a day late and a dollar short; used to always be early now I am just on time; no ticket though ever. KNOCK ON WOOD)

This is the stuff that drives me crazy
This is the stuff that's getting to me lately
In the middle of my little mess
I forget how big I'm blessed
(I am truly blessed.  I have my faith.  I have my friends and family who love me dearly.  I have happy and healthy kids, a wonderful marriage, a roof over my head, warm clothes on my body and food in my belly.)



This is the stuff that gets under my skin
But I've got to trust You know exactly what You're doing
It might not be what I might choose but this is the stuff You use

To break me of impatience
Conquer my frustrations
I've got a new appreciation

It's not the end of the world

(We need to remember that all the little trials and tribulations that we have on a daily basis are indeed not the end of the world.  Someone out there has it so much worse.  Don't sweat the small stuff and everything is the small stuff.)

This is the stuff that drives me crazy.
This is the stuff
Someone save me
In the middle of little my mess
I forget how big I'm blessed

This is the stuff that gets under my skin
And I've got to trust you know exactly what You're doing
Might not be what I would choose but this is the stuff You use

This is the stuff You use
