The Motions

This might hurt

It’s not safe

But I know that I’ve

gotta make a change

I don’t care

If I break

At least I’ll be feeling something

‘Cause just ok

Is not enough

Help me fight through the nothingness of life

I don’t wanna go through the motions

I don’t wanna go one more day

Without Your all consuming passion inside of me

I don’t wanna spend my whole life asking

What if I had given everything?

Instead of going through the motions

No regrets

Not this time

I’m gonna let my heart defeat my mind

Let Your love

Make me whole

I think I’m finally feeling something

Take me all the way

We saw this the other day and it made me think of you.
It was a full arc of a double rainbow.

Stand in the Rain

"She never slows down.
She doesn't know why but she knows that when she's all alone, feels like its all coming down


She won't turn around
The shadows are long and she fears if she cries that first tear, the tears will not stop raining down



So stand in the rain
Stand your ground
Stand up when it's all crashing down

You stand through the pain
You won't drown
And one day, whats lost can be found
You stand in the rain


She won't make a sound
Alone in this fight with herself and the fears whispering if she stands she'll fall down

She wants to be found
The only way out is through everything she's running from
Wants to give up and lie down.




So stand in the rain
Stand your ground
Stand up when it's all crashing down
You stand through the pain
You won't drown
And one day, whats lost can be found


You stand in the rain!"

But I love you any way

"They say that you're ornery and that you drive them insane
I hear them whine about you both night and day
And it breaks my heart
Because they can't see through your pain

Beneath the hard and steady front you show
Is a heart that's pure and soft
But they'll never know that side of you
Cuz' they never take the time to learn the truth

But I love you anyway!
And I don't care what they say
Sure you're not perfect and ya you've got your faults
But it sure doesn't help when they rub the wounds with salt
I see you standing tall and hard
And it tears me all apart
I guess I just want you to know
That no matter where you go...
I love you anyway!"

-Anonymous



You know who you are, and I love you anyway! ;-)

Wisdom teeth...or lack thereof

Yesterday I went under...under everything including the knife. They told me that most operations to remove 4 wisdom teeth are no big deal and take 20-30 min...as always, I was the exception and mine were "a pain to get out, came out in pieces, and took an hour to remove" I started to wake up in the middle but they knocked me out again. After debating how secure I felt in my looks I decided to go a head and post pictures...








I live in a house full of sweeties who have been bringing me flowers, letting me sleep with their beloved AFLAC duck, cooking breakfast for me, and showing up numerous times a day to admire my swelling, listen to me say that it "HURTS", and ask if they can possibly get me anything. I am truly very blessed!
