I've never written in something like this and I have had the opportunity to have met Gary through J Kelly several times. And even though I miss gary& j kelly together...I know that all good things do come to a end. Gary has a different style and for good reasons...even though I miss the old country songs he started out with. I'm just a good ol' Iowa country girl...growing up listening to my dad strum his guitar to all those old country classics. After j kelly left it was hard to get excited to go to a concert without him...it was our "sisters getaway" and our chance to get to see Gary.
And now I'm just purchasing his latest album and I know I speak for so many that have had so many ups and downs in their everyday life...and being the optimistic person...I preach everyday in my business...no one knows how sad sometimes I am deep down inside... being a wife, a mother, a business owner, a therapist, a teacher and struggling to make it all work.
Somedays I wish I could go away and I could look down hoping someone would say why? when she had it all... a gorgeous husband, two beautiful children, a successful career and what went wrong? Listening to his new albulm has helped me to put on the lipstick, put on those skinny jeans, and realize my life isn't all that bad.
Thanks Gary I miss the old country you, but most of all... Thanks for helping me to be here...I do matter.
Oh p.s. Happy Birthday Gary!!

Keep the chin up, one day at a time, sometimes even an hour at a time, or even a minute..what ever it takes! Remember you are #1 and no one can take that from you only you can!
Keep looking up and listen to Gary, he knows a lot and tells everyone about it!
