Day 11- "Underneath"

Well I could say I feel buried underneath all of the work that I am not getting done because of state testing, or that I feel buried underneath the burden and time that state testing takes, but then I will end up on a rampage about my true thoughts about teaching, learning and assessing...and I probably shouldn't go there.  So, instead, I will keep it simple here...at the concert on Friday Dana Fuchs introduced this song by talking about how people act all hateful and spiteful and sinful, talking about each other, gossiping, whatever...but on Sunday they come together and put on a smile in church, acting like they are "all that, all the time"~ and how great it could be if we all lived like it was Sunday every day...here are the lyrics and video below...because, underneath it all, don't we all want to be happy?  Don't we all have our own battles?  Shouldn't we greet everyone we see with a smile every day, without judgment, as you don't know what they are dealing with underneath it all?
