a quiet shout

I don't go to church on Sundays

Nor Tuesday or Thurdays too

But it doesn't mean I'm a sinner

Perhaps thats more like you

Are you like the gangster?

who murders on Saturday

But shows up on Sunday

and thinks a prayer will do

It's about ones heart & morals

So.. I'll try not to disrespect you

when I express my point of view

I don't like guilt by association

But why be at a party with

Racist, bigots, and fools.

I'll never know all the answers..

But I'll follow my heart

And that includes being sad for you

You don't see the hate you spew

Emily Library day...

She's so funny... she came running in SO excited about the 5 new dinosaur books she just got from the library..these were HER choices... and NO book report is due.. I don't get it.. but I LOVE my WONDERFUL inquisitive & smart girl. She once told me she wanted to "KNOW EVERYTHING" in the world.. and I told her "NO ONE knows everything- not even ALBERT EINSTEIN" and she said, "WELL I'm going to the FIRST" LOL! I guess it's dinosaur info gathering week. LOL!! LOVE HER!

Hi was thinking about something as I was walking to work today. Did you ever wonder if your opinions would have been clouded if you were with a different person. I mean I love who I am. The views I have on God, politics, friends etc. I think my take on things such as that are ME, what makes me--- well me. But what if I was with someone who had the complete opposite view of mine. Would their opinion change mine. Especially if I wasn't as strong of an individual as I am today. Perhaps all of our views are skewed by the people we are around. Would I even like myself... would I even care...or would my opinion be sooo far removed that I wouldn't even know it's mine. I think this...because the boy I went with in High School and who I'm a "facebook" friend with... has a radical different view than my own on many aspects of life. Our political views couldn't be further apart. I wonder if things would have worked out with him.... if I would have his view. Would being around him change me, or would I have been a strong enough person to stay true to who I really am. Cause I really like me...and I guess I'm lucky that my husband and I have very similar views in life. Thank god.... cause I really don't wanna be a FOX news watcher. LOL!

Forgot how much I love the song, "Barely breathing" By Duncan Sheik

‘Cause I am barely breathing
And I can’t find the air
I don’t know who I’m kidding
Imagining you care
And I could stand here waiting
A fool for another day
But I don’t suppose it’s worth the price, worth the price
The price that I would pay
