Face Plant

Let's face it.  I had a 'sucky' summer, pure and simple.  I suppose I could choose to wax either wartorn or wise, but instead I am opting to let the pros convey my sentiments.  Not only am I being utterly unoriginal by purloining a video from Youtube instead of forming my own thoughts, but even the idea of using this video is unoriginal, as I posted it in one of the Love Yourself Lovely blog blurbs.


As the indomitable Helen Sinclair said in Bullets Over Broadway, "If you're gonna go down, go down with the best of them..."


So without further ado, I bring you the best of them -- Fred & Ginger, picking themselves up, dusting themselves off... and starting all over again.

GINGER:
Nothing's impossible, I have found.
For when my chin is on the ground,
I pick myself up, dust myself off,
Start all over again.

Don't lose your confidence if you slip.
Be grateful for a pleasant trip,
And pick yourself up; dust yourself off;
Start all over again.

Work like a soul inspired
'Til the battle of the day is won.
You may be sick and tired,
But you'll be a man, my son.

Will you remember the famous men
Who had to fall to rise again.
So take a deep breath;
Pick yourself up;
Dust yourself off;
Start all over again.

FRED:
I'll get some self assurance
If your endurance is great.
I'll learn by easy stages
If you're courageous and wait.

To feel the strength I want to,
I must hang onto your hand.
Maybe by the time I'm fifty,
I'll get up and do a nifty.

(dialogue)

FRED:
Pick yourself up; dust yourself off;
Start all over again.
