Life as I Know It

I knew I liked him but I never knew how much until recently.  Well, change that. I don’t just like him, I love the guy.  Definitely!  I know that now.  But had I not seen him up close and personal so to speak, I would have gone on without realizing it.

From where I am, I had the perfect view of the stage.  I can still see clearly even without my glasses on.  I sat tight for a possibly once in a lifetime experience.

Josh Groban is undoubtedly a gifted singer and a wonderful performer, funny, charming and witty onstage.  He’s shown he’s quite versatile when he took a spot on the drums and hummed and sang snippets of pop songs and club tunes in between performance.  The other performers with him were astounding musicians as well. (Can’t help but be proud of Lani Misalucha when she sang The Prayer with Josh.)

But more than that, I just cannot describe how it felt to hear him sing the songs that speak my heart.  How easily each song turned into my personal thoughts and feelings. I had goose bumps.  I turned misty eyed.  I was sad, though in a good way.

Josh Groban left me speechless.  He has a song for my very hopes and dreams.  For my deepest sadness and longing.  For my most profound thanksgiving to God.  My heart was aching at every song and lyric.  I was in awe.

To Jimmy, I am forever grateful.

To Gay, I tried but failed miserably.

To Debby, it can’t be Broken Vow forever.

To JG, you know my heart.
