You know I must be busy when a couple people actually comment, "Are you going to start writing again?". Or I'm speechless when asked, "So...what are you gonna write about this?". Hmmmmm....probably not! I tend to try and not embarrass myself! Though...it happens.
I've been trying to squeeze the belongings of Shamu into a sardine can people. Challenging to say the least. When I haven't been doing that, I've been blessed to have amazing friends to keep me company and say, "Quit cleaning and unpacking for just a couple hours and come out.". Do you know me at all? Incomplete things drive me crazy. But since I've been pretty much dared to be spontaneous and make a change...I've done it.
And guess what? It's been just fine. Good in fact. Surprisingly.
And tonight, for the first time, I'm able to do what I always envisioned doing once in my apartment. I'm sitting out on the terrace writing. It's a beautiful night. I read a book to Shelby (Ben listened some, but hey...it was Pinkalicious so you can't really blame him for losing interest and watching the birds fly by and leaves fall). And now, I'm relaxing. Feet up. Dog at my feet. Growling and crying at other canines walking in her dog park.
As I sit here, I'm still trying to figure out where in the world my Bender Ball is. It's driving me crazy. I vowed to (again) lose more weight and tone what I'd already lost and now...no Bender Ball. Obviously, a trip to Target is in order.
So in the middle of all this chaos that is my life, I'm taking a few minutes to enjoy what I have. In the middle of some crazy last week, I sarcastically commented to a friend, "Aren't I a lucky girl?!!" to which the reply was, "Yes, actually...you are.". (i.e. get over it). Always nice being kept in-check. :-)
Seems that's a common theme for me these days. My friends. Old and new. All incredibly supportive and letting me know they are here.
And even though I missed the concert, I still love Sugarland. I was recently introduced to this song and it has quickly become a favorite. In one word: Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh........... . Sink into this one.
Of course, YouTube embedding isn't working correctly, so here's the link and lyrics. It's a MUST-LISTEN.
Fall Into Me by Sugarland.
When the weight of the world
Breaks down so strong it
Leaves footprints on the street
And there's too many miles to face
Without a few more hours sleep
The storm clouds overhead won't shed
Any rain to quench your thirst
I wanna be the one you reach for first
When your faith is stretched so thin
That you can see right through your soul
And you cant find a nickel to buy a smile 'cuz all your pockets all got holes
You wanna shut the door and
Hide before the day can get much worse
I wanna be the one you reach for first
Fall into me
My arms are opened wide
And you don't have to say a word
'Cuz I already see
That it's hard
And you're scared
And you're tired
And it hurts
And I wanna be the one you reach for first
I wanna be the bottle you've been drinkin' with your eyes
Or the road you run away on
You've been runnin' all your life
The third row pew that you last knew
As a child in church
I wanna be the one you reach for first
Fall into me
My arms are opened wide
And you don't have to say a word
Cuz I already see
That it's hard
And you're scared
And you're tired
And it hurts
And I wanna be the one you reach for first
Before you turn the key
Before you fall asleep
Before you drift away
To find some demons waiting for you
In your dreams
Before your arms stretched wide open
Before you're reaching for the sky
Before you're searching for direction
And all the answers till you fall
Fall into me
My arms are stretched opened wide
You don't have to say a word
'Cuz I already see
That its hard
And your scared
And your tired
And it hurts
And i wanna be the one you reach for first
