"Breakaway"

Grew up in a small town
And when the rain would fall down
I'd just stare out my window
Dreaming of what could be
And if I'd end up happy
I would pray (I would pray)

Trying hard to reach out
But when I tried to speak out
Felt like no one could hear me
Wanted to belong here
But something felt so wrong here
So I prayed I could break away

[Chorus:]
I'll spread my wings and I'll learn how to fly
I'll do what it takes til' I touch the sky
And I'll make a wish
Take a chance
Make a change
And breakaway
Out of the darkness and into the sun
But I won't forget all the ones that I love
I'll take a risk
Take a chance
Make a change
And breakaway

Wanna feel the warm breeze
Sleep under a palm tree
Feel the rush of the ocean
Get onboard a fast train
Travel on a jet plane, far away (I will)
And breakaway

[Chorus]

Buildings with a hundred floors
Swinging around revolving doors
Maybe I don't know where they'll take me but
Gotta keep moving on, moving on
Fly away, breakaway

I'll spread my wings
And I'll learn how to fly
Though it's not easy to tell you goodbye
I gotta take a risk
Take a chance
Make a change
And breakaway
Out of the darkness and into the sun
But I won't forget the place I come from
I gotta take a risk
Take a chance
Make a change
And breakaway, breakaway, breakaway

Happy Birthday Tricia!

What would I do without you?  You are truly a 'saint' in disguise.  I hope you have a wonderful day, there is so much you deserve!  If I could, I would give you the world...

I love you!

Harvey

I recently saw the movie "Harvey" with James Stewart.  Other than my obvious fascination with rabbits, I LOVED it!  It was simple and sweet and I am beginning to think everyone could benefit from having a Harvey. 

The following quotes stayed with me:

Well, I've wrestled with reality for 35 years, Doctor, and I'm happy to state I finally won out over it.

Years ago my mother used to say to me, she'd say, "In this world, Elwood, you must be" - she always called me Elwood - "In this world, Elwood, you must be oh so smart or oh so pleasant." Well, for years I was smart. I recommend pleasant. You may quote me.

I always have a wonderful time, wherever I am, whomever I'm with.

What do you think Elwood meant when he said you could be smart versus pleasant?  I somehow connected with this, not that I am saying I am by any means smart.  However, I recommend pleasant also. ;)

Also, life is good.  One should always have a wonderful time.

What do you think?

Eight Below

Tonight we went to see Eight Below and took Mom with us.

It was a good movie.  Slow at first but a good family movie all in all.  So good in fact, that when I got home I ran through the house with Buster (our dog) yelling, "Here's our one below!"  Shane and Jace just took it all in stride.

Of course, now I think I need to run right out and get a husky.  (Don't worry, I won't!) Those beautiful dogs just stole my heart!

I won't ruin it for those of you that haven't seen it BUT there is one part that gave me a little startle...  Okay, it was a BIG startle -- so big in fact that I was the only one in the theatre that screamed and jumped in my seat.  Yeah, it was pretty bad.  Especially since after I collected myself together, I turned to my Mom and (wink wink) while patting her said "It's ok, Mom...." 

Later she said she didn't know what scared her the most, the scene in the movie or my screaming.  Poor Mom!!

Think she'll go to the movies with us again?

#999

Yes, this is 999 on the list of ways to scare Chana.

Wait until kids are in bed and all lights are out.  Get in bed yourself and wait for her to open closet door to discover that you have "accidentally" left our big dog in there to jump out at her when she opens the door.

Thanks!
