Here I Go Again on My Own

-
"Here I go again on my own,
Goin' down the only road I've ever known.
Like a drifter, I was born to walk alone..."

 
 
That's what I'm listening to right now, and what I've had stuck in my head all day.
I'll be the first to admit, I love that song.
The original is good, but I fell in love with it when I heard the version from Rock of Ages
(Don't see the movie; just buy the soundtrack. Save yourself the trouble and get straight to the good stuff).   
I am in love with Julianne Hough's voice.
 
 
But listening to this song reminded me of something:
 
No matter how hopeless things may have seemed in the past, or how hopeless they may seem in the future, I am never, ever alone.
 
 
"...lo, I am with you always, even unto the end of the world."
Matthew 28:20
 
 
Isn't that comforting?
 
 
 
 
And that, folks, is my two cents worth for the day.

Friday Five

Well it's the last Friday of 2012! How are you spending it?! Obviously I'm not doing much...just being lazy and then working later.   But here are five things I'm loving today:     Hue corduroy leggings!!!! I've always seen these at Belk but never really thought about buying any. But on Wednesday, they were on sale for a really good price, so my mom and I decided to buy some to try them out. They are by far the best pants ((BESIDES VS SWEATPANTS OR YOGA PANTS)) I've ever owned. They are super comfortable but look dressy. They're perfect. I actually thought about doing a whole blog post just about these because I love them so much. Last winter, I didn't really ever wear pants because I wanted to wear boots all the time and skinny jeans aren't that comfortable to me. So I wore leggings all the time but it was hard to have enough shirts that were long enough to wear with leggings so that was a problem. The awesome thing about these is...

It's Just Not That Easy!

I promised myself I'd go to bed earlier tonight.   Don't make promises you can't keep, especially when you know you write and think best late at night.   For some reason, even though my eyes are puffy and burn a little, and my nasal passages are sore, and I'm cold and uncomfortable, I still choose to sit here on my laptop and listen to Honeygirl snore and drink orange juice (to load up on Vitamin C - come on immune system!) and listen to Christmas music and think and write.   What am I thinking about? EVERYTHING!!!!   Gosh, sometimes I wish I wasn't like this! I think so much! Why can't I go to bed like a normal person? But when I go to bed like a normal person, I ask "WHY CAN'T I STAY UP LATE LIKE I USED TO?!?!" (Because, truth be told, I usually do go to bed at a reasonable time. Only here lately have I been staying up so late like I used to.)   Where is the satisfaction???   Quotes from The Notebo...

Grandma Status and Nuggets From the Word

I'm so behind. Two weeks ago today was my half birthday (April 30th). 26.5 is another step closer to 30!!! UGHHHH!!! Appropriately, coincidentally, and ironically, it was also "senior citizen day" at work for spirit week. I had found this awesome "What happens at Grandma's stays at Grandma's" shirt at Walmart the night before when I was buying snacks for my lunch. It was like divine intervention when I saw it hanging there and only $5. 26.5 seems scary, but I'm excited to see what the next few months will hold, regardless! For my warm-ups for my classes, I found a picture of a half birthday cake with 26 and a half on top. When I clicked on the picture, it took me to a blog post about a 26.5 birthday party and it got me to wondering if people actually have half birthday parties. Thoughts? I enjoyed some wonderful reading that morning in my LIFE book... I love my peaceful mornings :) ...
