These are just some random thoughts, sayings, or song lyrics that I have heard that actually have some meaning to me for some reason or another.

I just don't understand Why you're running from a good man baby Why you've already given up See I know you've been hurt before But I swear I'll give you so much more Cause I swear it's you that I adore Cause I think about you constantly And my heart gets no rest over you

*****************************

The time I would spend with pictures I would not send I watched you go from left to right I followed you all night across my blinds Making my peace Making it with distance Maybe that’s a big mistake You know I’m thinking of you I miss you You’ll change your mind on Monday and Turn your back on me Take your steps away with hesitance Take your steps away from me.

Jimmy Eat World * Song #9 * Cautioners

Too many people put off something that brings them joy just because they haven't thought about it, don't have it on their schedule, didn't know it was coming or are too rigid to depart from their routine.

I got to thinking one day about all those women on the Titanic who passed up dessert at dinner that fateful night in an effort to cut back. From then on, I've tried to be a little more flexible.

Because Americans cram so much into their lives, we tend to schedule our headaches. We live on a sparse diet of promises we make to ourselves when all the conditions are perfect!

Life has a way of accelerating as we get older. The days get shorter, and all we have to show for our lives is a litany of "I'm going to", "I plan on", and "Someday, when things are settled down a bit."

Now...go on and have a nice day. Do something you WANT to......not something on your SHOULD DO list..

If you were going to die soon and had only one phone call you could make, who would you call and what would you say? And why are you waiting?

Have you ever watched kids playing on a merry go round or listened to the rain lapping on the ground? Ever followed a butterfly's erratic flight or gazed at the sun into the fading night? Do you run through each day on the fly? When you ask "How are you?" Do you hear the reply?

When the day is done, do you lie in your bed with the next hundred chores running through your head? Ever told your child, "We'll do it tomorrow." And in your haste, not see his sorrow? Ever lost touch? Let a good friendship die? Just call to say "Hi"?

When you worry and hurry through your day, It is like an unopened gift....Thrown away... Life is not a race. Take it slower. Hear the music before the song is over.
