“Let It Go! Let It Go! Let It Go!” Tops Chart, Saves Woman’s Job!
A mere thirty-six hours after the release of Let It Go! Let It Go! Let It Go!, the song reached #1 on my StatCounter list of Most Popular Pages at this blog. Okay, so it’s not Billboard. But it means something, right?
Reviews have been overwhelmingly positive:
“cheery”
“awesome”
“just what I needed”
“cheaper than psychotherapy”
“absolutely fabulous”
“very fun”
And this in an email: “Oh man, do you have perfect timing. Was ready to quit my job this morning.”
See…I told you…silliness is under-rated.

INTERVIEWER: So Dick, has your life changed since your hit single.
ME: Not much. I’m still the same guy I always was. The only difference is I added a new category to my blog: “silliness.”
——————–
Everything has limits, so I think this is the end of this bit of silliness. Taking my own advice: Let It Go! Let It Go! Let It Go!

Congratulations, Dick. It’s a great post!
Interviewer: So, Dick, have you “known” this song for long?
Dick: No, we’re just good friends.
Thanks Dan, Geetali. It’s been fun having the two of you aboard for this. It’s interesting to contemplate that over two days the number of visitors here TRIPLED when compared to any other two day period!
Friends have put forward two reasons. First, in a world beset by problems, as one friend said, “We are all desperate for something to laugh about.” Second, many of us need constant reminders to “let go” because, although we know it is the best thing, we don’t seem to be hardwired to do it.
And my own take-away is that many of us who ply the fields of self-development take ourselves far too seriously. The work is serious; there is no doubt about that in my mind. But that doesn’t mean that we can’t have a laugh along the way, especially a good laugh at our own “silliness.”
