More uplifting than implied

Just Let Me Be In Love

My breath is short my heart is beating fast
Everytime I smile at him he's smiling back
If I'm dreaming please just let me sleep
Anyone can see he's too good for me
Oh, give it time, he'll find out soon enough
Just let me have and hold him till he does

What we've got going on is so incredible
This chemistry between us feels so wonderful
But knowing me I'll probably
Find a way to mess it up
Who knows, who cares, right now
Just let me be in love

Don't concern me with reality
Don't convince me he's too heavenly
Forget the future disregard the past
Those are questions I don't wanna ask
To my heart, all that matters is tonight
Just let me live this moment in his eyes

What we've got going on is so incredible
This chemistry between us feels so wonderful
But knowing me I'll probably
Find a way to mess it up
Who knows, who cares, right now
Just let me be in love

This song is more upbeat, I think, than the lyrics alone would lead you to believe. I was just listening to the lyrics and was moved by them. It really got me to thinking though. Why is it that a song just seems to fit in with things going on in your life. Is it becuase you want to see it that way or is it really the depth of music? I wonder if it can be just too easy to make the words fit how you want them to fit. Is it manipulation of the words or the words really mimic your life? I'm too tired to give this much more contemplation than I've just done. I guess for now I'm best to leave the pondering for another day.

'Awwww' is about the only thing that fits this feeling.

For the first time in a long time I feel such a sense of peace in my life. It seems as though out of nowhere this peace presents itself and surrounds me. I didn't see it coming which I guess makes it all the sweeter. Take one day at a time, however that day may play itself out, for one never knows what might be standing right in front of you, beside you, behind you or just over the horizon. It is the unknown that can frighten, encourage or simply fuel you to continue on when all hope feels lost. If I could teach a lesson it would be that, never give up hope. I'm glad I never did!

I thank you for all you are, all you bring out in me. The promise of tomorrow is sweet, the risk and thrill of today is more than I could ask. Whatever tomorrow brings, be it with you or without I'm thankful for every moment I've shared with you thus far.

The Blind Horse

I'm just full of words today. I received this today from a very special person. It is a very moving e-mail that really touched me.

The Blind Horse...

Just up the road from my home is a field, with two horses in it. From a
distance, each looks like every other horse.
But if you stop your car, or are walking by, you will notice something
quite amazing. Looking into the eyes of one horse will disclose that
he is blind. His owner has chosen not to have him put down, but has
made a good home for him. This alone is amazing.

If nearby and listening, you will hear the sound of a bell. Looking
around for the source of the sound, you will see that it comes from the
smaller horse in the field. Attached to her halter is a small bell. It
lets her blind friend know where she is, so he can follow her.
As you stand and watch these two friends, you'll see how she is always
checking on him, and that he will listen for her bell and then slowly
walk to where she is, trusting that she will not lead him astray. When
she returns to the shelter of the barn each evening, she stops
occasionally and looks back, making sure her friend isn't too far behind
to hear the bell.

Like the owners of these two horses, God does not throw us away just
because we are not perfect or because we have problems or challenges.
He watches over us and even brings others into our lives to help us when
we are in need. Sometimes we are the blind horse being guided by the
little ringing bell of those who God places in our lives. Other times
we are the guide horse, helping others see.

Good friends are like this ....... You don't always see them, but you
know they are always there. Please listen for my bell and I'll listen for yours.
"Be kinder than necessary, for everyone you meet is fighting some kind
of battle."

Wedding vows that wow me

I just recently attended a wedding of two poeple I love so much. To be a part of their day was a gift in many ways. It showed me to trust in the faith of loving another and putting yourself out there for whatever may come your way. One never knows what will come in time and to have the faith, love and commitment of another is such a gift. Watching these two people pledge their lifetime commitment and love was beautiful in that it was watching the joining of best friends.

The bride and groom did not write their own vows, but took pieces of vows from various sources and fit them to their love and history. I was struck by many of the verses and the one that is stuck in my head and touches me most: "I will love you enough to risk being hurt" If I take the time to really let the words sink in they will still bring tears to my eyes.

The wonders of my life

I'm at a point in my life that songs just seem to better express my feelings than any words I could string together. I'm a huge lover of music, especially country and this song is a perfect example of why I'm so moved by music.

"The Day Before You"

I had all but given up on finding
The one that I could fall into
On the day before you
I was ready settled for
Less than love and not much more
There was no such thing as a dream come true
Oh, but that was all the day before you

Now you're here and everything changes
Suddenly life means so much
I can't wait to wake up tomorrow
And find out this promise is true
I would never have to go back to
The day before you

In your eyes I see forever
Makes me wish that my life never knew
The day before you

The Heaven knows those years without you
Shaping my heart for the that day I found you
You're the reason for all that I've been through
Then I'm thankful for the day before you

Now you're here and everything changes
Suddenly life means so much
I can't wait to wake up tomorrow
And find out this promise is true
I would never have to go back to
The day before you
