"Fascinating Rhythm"

Ok, I didn't cheat, but since this was a three-pager, I do know that this is, I assume, the last Gershwin piece. Also not one of my favorites, but still fun. It's nice to know more of it than just the title hook. (I also know the next song, but I'm not telling.)

I'm not sure that I have anything to say today that bears the slightest resemble to the song in question.

Let's try this, and maybe it'll just be short and sweet for today: Life, right now, is pretty good. I know that this won't last, entirely. Something will occur to make me feel off balance, out of control, in over my head, even just tired. But right now, things are ok, and more than ok. I know that this doesn't happen very often, and that there is no predicting it. When my check out person asks how I am, I tell the truth, briefly. It's nice when I can honestly say, "I'm doing very well, thank you."

I don't often believe in a personally concerned deity, but I do give thanks when I feel like this. If the envelope of my gratitude is a little vaguely addressed, I'm sure that the deity who needs to receive it, somehow, will.
