Cabin Fever

This song pretty much sums up how I feel right now. I've left the house for a total of 3 hours in the past two days and I'm going crazy.

Monday

Things I've learned/re-learned this past week:

1. Never underestimate the value of getting to know someone for who they are rather than who you assume they are.
2. You can never hug enough.
3. Get over your pride and call that person you miss because what happens if they never call you?
4. Take time to ponder the world. Yesterday morning I was driving somewhere I've been a million times when I realized I had driven three exits passed the one I needed. Guess I just got caught up in my pondering!
5. We all have people that we need. Sometimes we just don't want to admit it.
6. "In the absence of gratitude we all feel alone."
7. It's not what we take on that makes us great but what we give up.
8. Every hour of the day and night is an unspeakably perfect miracle.
9. Acceptance needs to be a two way street.
10. Love is always the answer, it's just circumstances that change.

Yes....another song

Roadside - Rise Against
Don't worry this is a calm one...even has a violin! (Lyrics posted below)

Tell me what I'm supposed to do,
With all these left over feelings of you;
'Cause I don't know

And tell me how I'm supposed to feel,
When all these nightmares become real;
'Cause I don't know

And I don't think you see the places inside me that I find you,
And I don't know how we separate the lies here from the truth;
And I don't know how we woke up one day and somehow thought we knew
exactly what we're supposed to do.

So leave me at the roadside,
And hang me up and out to dry;
So leave me at the roadside,
And hang me up and out to dry.

Yes Please

BIG changes coming my way.

So BIG the only person I've told is my mom and I don't tell her jack!

I'm excited! Happy Tuesday!

Sunday Night

Here's a little something that everyone should watch from time to time... and by that I mean you're welcome.

Skin

Today I miss having a tan.
Not the kind you get from boating or the tanning bed.
The kind you had when you were a kid from practically living outside.
