The title of the song I’m featuring today has been my motto for years and is the title of one of my poetry collections. Life happens. I’ve had bad times, and I’ve had good times. When life throws me curve balls that hit me square in the face, knocking me down, I jump to my feet and make a run for home plate. I try not to complain because most of the time, it doesn’t do any good. That’s life.
According to Wikipedia, this 1963 song, written by Dean Kay and Kelly Gordon, was popularized by numerous artists including Frank Sinatra. I hope you enjoy his rendition. Remember. When life throws you down, pick yourself up and get back in the race.

New! The Red Dress
Copyright July 2019 by DLD Books
When Eve went to her high school senior prom, she wore a red dress that her mother had made for her. That night, after dancing with the boy of her dreams, she caught him in the act with her best friend. Months later, Eve, a freshman in college, is bullied into giving the dress to her roommate. After her mother finds out, their relationship is never the same again.
Twenty-five years later, Eve, a bestselling author, is happily married with three children. Although her mother suffers from dementia, she still remembers, and Eve still harbors the guilt for giving the dress away. When she receives a Facebook friend request from her old college roommate and an invitation to her twenty-five-year high school class reunion, then meets her former best friend by chance, she must confront the past in order to face the future.
