(Oh, CRAP ! He's gonna sing)
I never thought my life could be
Anything but catastrophe
But suddenly I begin to see
A bit of good luck for me.
I never had a chance to shine
Never a happy song to sing
But suddenly all the world is mine
What an amazing thing.
I never thought I'd see the day
When I would face the world and say
"Good morning, look at the sun."
But it could be done.
I never dreamed that I would climb
Over the moon in ecstasy
But nevertheless, it's there that I'm
Shortly about to be.
'Cause I've got a golden ticket
I've got a golden chance to make my way
And with a golden ticket
It's a Golden Day !

Great post. Love the golden ticket metaphor for life--though I will always think of chocolate first.
I also loved the cat video you sent and shared it with a long list of cat lovers (and haters) who joined me in laughing out loud. That is my demonic cat who has no clue about daylight savings time and setting back the clocks.
It's really 5:20 a.m.
