Pause For Thought
The excitement of having an actual Spice Girl on the show today got me thinking back to the girl group two friends and I formed back during our first year at secondary school. We were called 鈥� don鈥檛 laugh 鈥� 鈥楶ink Tinge鈥�, for the life of me I can鈥檛 remember where we got that from. We cared deeply about harmonies and dance routines, less so about plagiarism (it was a dark day indeed when one band member tried to pass-off a B-side track from a big single at the time as one of her own compositions.)聽
Our most cringe-worthy moment was covering The Corrs, 鈥楽o Young鈥� to serenade the residents of an old people鈥檚 home my Dad was then chaplain of. Never has the lyric, 鈥溾�榗os we are so young now, we are so young, so young now鈥� been quite so inappropriate. Pink Tinge is, alas, no more. But I鈥檓 ok with that. After all, I鈥檓 older. Writing Pause for Thought scripts is now more my style as opposed to, ahem, catchy tunes. And such is the ebb and flow of life: relishing the different chapters, knowing that the full book they create is a goodun.聽
Sometimes I can stress that things aren鈥檛 happening at the time or pace I鈥檇 hoped. But on a good day I try to trust its timing 鈥� relishing the best bits, trotting along through the vanilla and quietly mumbling 鈥榯his too shall pass鈥︹�� during the difficult. There鈥檚 some good poetic wisdom in the book of Ecclesiastes in the Bible that says; 鈥渢o everything there is a season, and a time for every purpose鈥� a time to plant and a time to pluck up what鈥檚 been planted鈥� a time to weep, and a time to laugh鈥� a time to break down, and a time to build up鈥︹�櫬�
So maybe you鈥檙e out there now starting up a band or maybe you鈥檝e long since broken up. Perhaps, like Geri, you鈥檙e reuniting! (ladies of Pink Tinge fame, I hope you鈥檙e listening!) but may the particular life episode you鈥檙e at now be enriching the full box set that is you. I always remember what the ever-wise Oprah said: 鈥淵ou can have it all. Just not all at once.鈥�
