I was kindly reminded that I need to be living in the moment.
To remember that the life is not a race but should be a stroll with those I love.
I walked in the house this evening and susan came at me.
wiggles and all.
I had an immediate smile.
As I type her head is in my lap.
I feel like I am recieving a gift this year.
At night my puppy curls into my side and I get to hold the hand of my love.
I feel like I've won the lottery.
So no matter how long it takes I am stopping to smell the roses because I don't know when they will be gone.

Road Full of Promise
There’s a darkness upon me that’s flooded in light
In the fine print they tell me what’s wrong and what’s right
And it comes in black and it comes in white
And I’m frightened by those that don’t see it
When nothing is owed or deserved or expected
And your life doesn’t change by the man that’s elected
If you’re loved by someone, you’re never rejected
Decide what to be and go be it
There was a dream and one day I could see it
Like a bird in a cage I broke in and demanded that somebody free it
And there was a kid with a head full of doubt
So I’ll scream til I die and the last of those bad thoughts are finally out
There’s a darkness upon you that’s flooded in light
And in the fine print they tell you what’s wrong and what’s right
And it flies by day and it flies by night
And I’m frightened by those that don’t see it
There was a dream and one day I could see it
Like a bird in a cage I broke in and demanded that somebody free it
And there was a kid with a head full of doubt
So I’ll scream til I die and the last of those bad thoughts are finally out
There was a dream and one day I could see it
Like a bird in a cage I broke in and demanded that somebody free it
And there was a kid with a head full of doubt
So I’ll scream til I die and the last of those bad thoughts are finally out
There’s a darkness upon me that’s flooded in light
In the fine print they tell me what’s wrong and what’s right
There’s a darkness upon me that’s flooded in light
And I’m frightened by those that don’t see it
Lucky
I've questioned the decisions I have made in the past wondering if they will take me to where I want to be. If the hard days are worth it. If being hurt will bring appreciation. All I can say is that they are, that it is. I feel like the road I am on is so very full of promise.

Undercover Sap
i wish i knew your habits, where you like to go
if you like it warm outside, or do you like the snow
I like to sit on the porch with you with a beer in my hand and the other in yours.
The snow makes me ache for summer It makes me think of sledding and christmas lights.oooooooh oh oh...
i can only just imagine, what you like.
i wish i knew your tastes, of what you like to drink.
if you like your coffee black or do you like it sweet?
Diet Coke. Orange Blossom.
Coffee. Black. Creamy.
oooooooh oh oh...
i wish i knew you better, than i do (Me too)
do you like to stay home or go out late at night, do you like to just go with the flow.
I like to come home and cuddle in bed.I wish you did tooohhhhhhhhhhhhh... i love everything about you
i wish i knew the future and how its gonna be so i could bump into you accidentally on the street.
oooooooh oh oh... just like in the movies... happens all the time.
i wish i had the courage to tell you how i feel.
steal away your heart with clever words,
seal it with a kiss.
You already did.oooooooh oh oh... im no that couragous... any more.
cant you read my mind, when i stare at you?
cant you feel my heart just break in two.
ohhhhhhhhhhhh... i love everything about you. (2x)

fragile
ms suz
I don't think of myself as a fragile person.
Obsessive. Yes. Harsh. Sometimes.
This week has made me want to well up at every turn.
I feel at a loss on a way to help.
The difficult truths.
Difficult deaths.
Frustrated with the facts.
Some don't even get a chance when others just squander theirs.
I don't want to squander mine.
Some days I find it easier to soak up. To filter through what I'm feeling.
This week everything just feels fragile.

Pearl Jam - I Can´t Help Falling In Love With You
Wise men say only fools rush in
but I can't help falling in love with you
Shall I stay
would it be a sin
Like a river flows surely to the sea
Darling so it goes
some things are meant to be
take my hand, take my whole life too
for I can't help falling in love with you
Like a river flows surely to the sea
Darling so it goes
some things are meant to be
take my hand, take my whole life too
Pearl Jam covering Elvis. Love.
Get to bring Suz home tomorrow!

Avett Brothers
She keeps it simple
And I am thankful for her kind of lovin'
'Cause it's simple
No longer do we wonder if we're together
We're way past that
She's talkin' to me with her voice
Down so low I barely hear her
But I know what she's sayin'
I understand because my heart and hers are the same
And I was sick with heartache
And she was sick like Audrey Hepburn when I met her
But we would both surrender
True love is not the kind of thing you should turn down
Don't ever turn it down
I hope that I don't sound to insane when I say
There is darkness all around us
I don't feel weak but I do need sometimes for her to protect me
And reconnect me to the beauty that I'm missin'
No longer does it matter what circumstances we were born in
She knows which birds are singin'
And the names of the trees where they're performin' in the mornin
I hope that I don't sound to insane when I say
There is darkness all around us
I don't feel weak but I do need sometimes for her to protect me
And reconnect me to the beauty that I'm missin'
No longer does it matter what circumstances we were born in
She knows which birds are singin'
And the names of the trees where they're performin' in the mornin
It may be time for Colorado...yes I think it is.
