My Theme

It's that time of year again...New Year's Eve is only 2 days away. Are you making resolutions?

I made a few last year. Did I keep them? Kind of. Each one of the resolutions was thought about this year; sometimes one was more important than the last. But all in all, I did make some progress on each one of them. But I cannot say that I kept them all. So be it. I can at least say that I am working on it all.

This year there will not be a resolution. More like a personal statement.

I am tired of not feeling like myself. I am tired of being tired. And I am tired of hiding behind my exhaustion and fears. In 2007, I wil not allow all of that to run my life.

This morning, I took Allie to the airport. On my way to the office, Sugarland was playing in the car. For the first time, I actually sat and listened to the lyrics of a particular song. Each line rang true to me. This song has now become my own personal theme song.

Go ahead and take your best shot,

Let 'er rip, give it all you've got,

I'm laid out on the floor,

but I've been here before,

I may stumble, yeah I might fall,

Only human aren't we all?

I might lose my way,

but hear me when i say,

I will stand back up,

Youll know just the moment when ive have enough,

Sometimes im afraid,

and i dont feel that tough,

But I'll stand back up,

I've been beaten up and bruised,

I've been kicked right off my shoes,

Been down on my knees more times than youd believe,

When the darkness tries to get me,

Theres a light that just wont let me,

It might take my pride,

and my tears may fill my eyes,

But I'll stand back up,

I've weathered all these storms,

But i just turn them into wind, so i can fly,

What dont kill you makes you stronger,

When I take my last breath,

Thats when I'll just give up,

Go, go ahead to take your best shot,

Let 'er rip, give it all you've got,

You might win this round but you cant keep me down,

'Cause I'll stand back up,

And you'll know just the moment when ive had enough,

Sometimes im afraid and I dont feel that tough,

But I'll stand back up,

Youll know just the moment when ive had enough,

Sometimes I'm afraid and I dont feel that tough,

But I'll stand back up.

We should all have a theme song...do you have one?!
