Another weekend dawns, and I found myself singing (badly) my song for the weekend. 70 MPH on the freeway on the way to work... windows down, drowning out the sound of the other cars and trucks....
Thought you might want to sing along ....
Take care of you!
"It's My Life" - Bon Jovi
This ain't a song for the broken-hearted No silent prayer for the faith-departed I ain't gonna be just a face in the crowd You're gonna hear my voice When I shout it out loud
[Chorus:] It's my life It's now or never I ain't gonna live forever I just want to live while I'm alive (It's my life) My heart is like an open highway Like Frankie said I did it my way I just wanna live while I'm alive It's my life
This is for the ones who stood their ground For Tommy and Gina who never backed down Tomorrow's getting harder make no mistake Luck ain't even lucky Got to make your own breaks
[Chorus:] It's my life And it's now or never I ain't gonna live forever I just want to live while I'm alive (It's my life) My heart is like an open highway Like Frankie said I did it my way I just want to live while I'm alive 'Cause it's my life
Better stand tall when they're calling you out Don't bend, don't break, baby, don't back down
[Chorus:] It's my life And it's now or never 'Cause I ain't gonna live forever I just want to live while I'm alive (It's my life) My heart is like an open highway Like Frankie said I did it my way I just want to live while I'm alive
[Chorus:] It's my life And it's now or never 'Cause I ain't gonna live forever I just want to live while I'm alive (It's my life) My heart is like an open highway Like Frankie said I did it my way I just want to live while I'm alive 'Cause it's my life!

Isn't it a great song? The music video's hillarious too! Folks who have met Jovi *catch me as I swoon* say he's so nice.
Be gentle on yourself, honey. I hear in your voice a *bit* of anger. A *bit* of "Darn it, I'm trying to move forward! Trying to move on! It's not working! I'm stuck!" There's a reading from Melody Beattie about how a baby eagle finally gets the push from its mother to move on: the mom stops cleaning out the baby poop! Seriously! Finally the baby gets so uncomfortable with all the poop and stuff they go "Ok, I get it. It's time. I'm scared, but it's time. I don't know how I'll make it, but it's time."
So far, you haven't seen any baby eagles failing to fly without proper training. I have complete confidence that your HP has trained you properly for the next step. I encourage you to listen carefully for "the signal." I DOUBT your HP will leave poop for you to see--but maybe there's another signal. I know you see it. I know you've been sensing it. Grasp that signal. It's the flag your HP has hoisted for you. You're ready to fly Tx. I promise. ((MONSTER HUG)).
Isn't it great - music can help us tremendously. I listen to talk radio a lot and forget that music can lift you up and set you free. It sounds like you are a music lover and singing is therapeutic too!!! Have a great weekend whatever you do, take care of yourself and have some fun!
And it IS your life, too short and too precious to waste energy being worried and ill at ease I am finding.
I'm so glad you sent this song, I needed a new song to think about.
My mom sent me the words to "Harper Valley PTA" the other day, as she was writing some poetry about meeting Jeannie C Riley and Willie Nelson...anyway, long story short - I could not get that silly song out of my mind!
