Still Waters Run Deep

You don’t know this but I was a Motown baby. My father was one of the writers and producers at Hitsville U.S.A. in Detroit, MI. He worked with all the greats from Smokey Robinson to Stevie Wonder to the Four Tops and Tempations, Diana Ross and the Supremes and the list goes on and on.

But I’m a country music-loving girl. I enjoy Motown and R & B in general but if you ask me about the greatest artist of all time, I’ll answer without flinching for one moment: Garth Brooks. The best concert I’ve ever attended: Garth Brooks. My favorite duo: Faith Hill and Tim McGraw (one of my favorite concerts of all time). I grew up with gold and platinum records all over the walls of my father’s office but never took the time to listen to any of his music.

Then I married Keith. He looked my Dad up on Wikipedia and gave me a history lesson for some reason growing up I never cared to learn much about. Some of the greatest love songs in history my father wrote and/or produced, including the one I thought about just a moment ago as I was daydreaming about walking along the Marina with my hubby: Still Waters (Run Deep).

There is something about still waters that make my heart feel at peace. Walking hand-in-hand with Keith, we walk along the water and without so much as saying a word, we comfort each other. We remind one another no matter how hectic life may be, it’ll never pass us by, because still waters run deep and so do he and I.

As we head into the second weekend in May, I’m reminded of how quickly this year has flown. If we don’t take the time to pause, hold hands, look into each other’s eyes and simply remind each other there is no earthly bond more important than the relationship we have with each other…life will absolutely pass us by. We have to live each moment intent to not forget that just as still waters run deep, so does my love for him and his love for me.

Until Monday…make it a great weekend!
