1978 and an Omelet is Born

So, I'm up early listening to Pandora radio.  Bob Seger starts wailing We’ve Got Tonight and I’m thrown back to 1978.  For a few minutes I am that young woman again reliving the feelings I was having when that song was a regular on the playlist that was the soundtrack of my life that year.  As I listened today, I remembered the bad feelings—my life taking a turn that seemed to nullify everything I’d ever been taught or had believed in; and the  good feelings—new love discovered.  I took some radical steps in the eyes of friends and family in the summer of ’78.  I wish I hadn’t hurt loved ones.  But what’s that saying about omelets and breaking eggs?  Yeah, that one.  It’s true.

So, here I sit listening to Bob Seger and reliving those feelings from those days and seeing with much greater clarity the reason for so much that went on.  All in all, it’s been a pretty good omelet.
