We Should Wonder Why They Don't. . .

I admit it: I'm a Grey's Anatomy fan. But I am a fan for a reason other than the obvious McDreamy or McSteamy sightings, or for the medical drama (I know it's fake blood, but my mind doesn't always believe what my eyes are seeing). No, I'm a Grey's Anatomy fan for Meredith's introductions and conclusions (I'm sure there is a technical TV name for these, but I don't know it) on each show. I'm a fan because I think it's genius that all of the episode titles are song titles, and how each episode has a connection to the song title and hence Meredith's introductions and conclusions.

My favorite Meredith conclusion was from last season. She said something like : we shouldn't wonder why people go crazy in this world; we should wonder why they don't.

She was talking about all of the things that we have the risk of losing each day. And it's true--when we think about all that we could lose in a day (family members, sight, hearing, jobs, best friends, pets, our lives, etc) it is amazing that we all don't go crazy more often. So I like to remind myself that it's okay to worry a little or fret some because it's true--I do have a lot to lose in this life. But I also have a lot of reasons to celebrate and be joyful! And that is usually much more fun than worrying. . .
