leave a light on

it's a busy week for me. 5 doubles and yesterday in the sun. i'm a bit red and a bit tired. the recovery event was a blast. there were many speakers and cheering. the bill up before the house and senate brings hope.

taking a break today. simple post. maybe read up a little on the paul wellstone act. leave a light on till i get back..


the new david cook single.

the time of my life

I’ll taste every moment
And live it out loud I know this is the time,
This is the time to be
More than a name
Or a face in the crowd I know this is the time
This is the time of my life
Time of my life
More than a name
Or a face in the crowd
This is the time
This is the time of my life
This is the time of my life

i really hope i can live up to my ideals. i hope i am true to my self. things change so rapidly these days. i am hoping i stay grounded and can have a good laugh now and again. i am sure i seem worried, and part of me probably is. truth be told though, i just don't know what comes next. sometimes faith is so easy to talk about and even to imagine, but actually having it is a completely different story.

it's been a really glorious week away from my normal work life. i am feeling tired and energized, inspired and a bit crispy on the edges. i am excited and a bit scared. all i can say is i must be living. and indeed that is a miracle every day.

always be my baby

life goes on....

there are good things happening around me every day and i hope i am starting to find myself grounded enough to notice those things again. i've put 2 youtubes on today, and i hope you'll indulge me. one is david cook speaking- probably from script as well as his own heart, but i still am enthralled with the idea of him having "so much life to unfold". and i think he is a bit of an wayward thinker, and i love that his dreams are moving closer to reality.. best of luck, david cook. i actually enjoyed watching you grow this season on idol. thanks for the smiles, and thank you for reminding that really good things happen, too.




i'm posting the studio version of this because it's so much clearer.

cookin'

contender

it's definitely somewhat of an obsession with me. and i'm okay with that. i do race home in order to turn it on and tune in to what's now. i guess there are so many things i find fascinating, but foremost has to be watching talent blossom. i think that david cook has unfolded like an incredibly lotus blossom. he just gets more beautful to watch.

now my friends ruben and alex voted for syesha over 100 times they tell me, but i haven't connected with her yet the way they have.

but i definitely love to connect with the ones that are not always in front. the contenders. they may be down, but don't count 'em out. i mean, even if you don't come in first, are you not a winner?
