This song touches me

This song really touches me, when you don't have anything, do you give more, trying to get it, once you have something are you more guarded in what you attempt.

it is Tim McGraw Last Dollar (Fly Away)

1-2-3 Like a bird I sing
Cause you giving me the most beautiful set of wings
I’m so glad you’re here today
Cause tomorrow I might have to go and fly away
Hey!
Verse1:
Well, I’m down to my last dollar
I've walked right through my shoes
Just a small reminder of the hell that I’ve gone through
But look at me still smiling
Cause I’m wondering what I’ll do
Since I ain’t got nothingI got nothing to lose
Everybody say “HaHaHa, HaHaHa”
My Friends are always giving me
Watches, Hats, and wine
That’s how I know this is serious
That’s how I know its time
I don’t have to worry about things that I don’t have
Cause if I ain’t got nothing I got nothing to hold me back
Chorus:1-2-3
Like a bird I sing
Cause you giving me the most beautiful set of wings
And I’m so glad you’re here today
Cause tomorrow I might have to go and fly awayFly away, Fly away
Verse 2:
There’s nothing that’s worth keeping me
From places I should go
From happyville to lovingland
I’m gonna tour from coast to coast
I’m leaving everything behind
There’s not much that I need
Cause If I ain’t got nothing
I could lose a fancy freed
Chorus
Look at me so free
Nothings holding me down(down)
Look at me so free
Can’t keep my feet on the ground
1-2-3 Like a bird I sing
Cause you giving me the most beautiful set of wings
And I’m so glad you’re here today
Cause tomorrow I might have to go and
1-2-3 Like a bird I sing
Cause you giving me the most beautiful set of wings
And I’m so glad you’re here today
Cause tomorrow I might have to go and fly away
Fly away, Fly Away, Fly away, Fly away
Fly away!!Fly Away
1-2-3 Like a bird I sing
Cause you giving me the most beautiful set of wings

I love it when the words of a song, poem, or quote can touch you deeply. I have a new one on my blog that does this for me right now. I find wonderful inspiration in words all the time.

April 19 is a rough day

20 years ago today I miscarried a baby. I can imagine myself with a 20 year old running around. Maybe even a grandma, that is a rough thought. For years when I could not conceive I wondered if I was being punished for miscarrying my first. I was young, got pregnant in college, and was sick all the time. I had morning sickness 24 hours a day every single day, I lost a lot of weight. I was alone and I was scared. I went to bed one night feeling very ill, I woke up two days later in the hospital. I had hemarraged and been uncousious, and almost died. I miscarried in my fifth month. When I missed college some friends tried to reach me and couldn't so called my ex and he had the landlord let him in. It saved my life. I have always felt so guilty that I was just that little bit relieved that it had happened. I was so young, and on my own, and did not want a child raised the way that I had been raised. Feelings just all over the place. It hit me like a ton of bricks again w

Well I made it and I survived it

I am finally 40. Entering the prime of my life. I think it is all how you look at things. So if I look positive it will be postitive. This is the decade that is going to be about me. I had an adult decade on education, I had an adult decade on family, now I want one on me. Thanks Jenni for calling last night, I miss you and you are welcome to come back to Alberta and visit any time. I got the cutest birday card from Poncho with her original photography on it of a koala, I love it. I feel spoiled and loved and it is nice to feel that way. I got a cake sent to me at work yesterday, a balloon arrangement with a teddy bear and chocolates and some basic grey paper. A bunch of girls from SJ went together and organized it all. I feel so honoured to be counted as one of their friends. I got to talk to geminigirl (Carrie) yesterday as well, she is one of the sweetest people I know. Thanks for calling.

Back to school

Image
DD first day of grade three is today. She is very excited to be going back, and hoping she gets her dream teacher. There was a fiasco last year at the start of school and DD started with her dream teacher and then they moved her twice more and she ended up with a split teacher room. This year she hopes she gets Mrs. K, for good. I hope the school has their act together this year. She didn't want me to drive her, she didn't want me to follow the school bus, she wanted to do it on her own just like last year. She was happy to have mom wait at the bus stop with her though.
