"Johnny just sat there — staring at the ice in the glass like it held the answer to why she’d left"

Great line and story, MJ.

I think your story is a lot closer to what Mr. Cash was probably thinking when he wrote that song. When I was a kid I always started crying when it came on because I figured the blue eyed person he was missing was dead...

OMG thanks Jeannine!

I've felt like I was struggling to come up with something this week, and then today I realized it was only Thursday and something clicked. Almost like I was looking way too hard before. Great song choice!

Maybe I shouldn't have picked something so sad.

Don't second guess yourself 😉 this has been an inspiring song. We're on pace to match some of our biggest weeks!
