Facts of Life

A couple of weeks ago, Tanner and Marshall brought home an 80’a puzzle from Target. Marshall and I had a fun time putting it together and trying to figure out all of the references. One of the pictures, was the characters from “The Facts of Life” show. And, pf course, I have been singing the the song a bunch now. 

Even though dated, the words “you take the good, you take the bad, you take them both and there you have the facts of life, the facts of life” really speak to the ups and downs throughout your life. You can’t have the highs without the lows. You can’t enjoy the positives without understanding the negatives. 

With all that is going on at work, this is certainly true right now. Lots of benefits to being in tech, but these times are the downsides. But, always a good reminder of what is important in life and how we can’t control the situation, but we can control our reaction through the facts of life. 

You take the good, you take the bad, 
you take them both and there you have 
The facts of life, the facts of life. 

There's a time you got to go and show 
You're growin' now you know about 
The facts of life, the facts of life. 

When the world never seems 
to be livin up to your dreams 
And suddenly you're finding out 
the facts of life are all about you, you. 

It takes a lot to get 'em right 
When you're learning the facts of life. (learning the facts of life) 
Learning the facts of life (learning the facts of life) 
Learning the facts of life.
