~Love it~

By E.E. Cummings...

~i carry your heart with me~

i carry your heart with me (i carry it in my heart) i am never without it

(anywhere i go you go, my dear; and whatever is done by only me is your doing, my darling)

i fear no fate

(for you are my fate, my sweet)

i want no world

(for beautiful you are my world, my true)

and it's you are whatever a moon has always meant and whatever a sun will always sing is you

here is the deepest secret nobody knows

(here is the root of the root and the bud of the bud
and the sky of the sky of a tree called life; which grows
higher than soul can hope or mind can hide)

and this is the wonder that's keeping the stars apart

i carry your heart

(i carry it in my heart)

~Story~

Never been a John Mayer fan...beginning to like some of his stuff...but, both of the songs are originals of other artists remade by him...so, not sure if I like him or the song...

I suppose that it is the song and not the person...the story rather than the words...or maybe both....

~Tough Times!`

I had somewhat of a rough weekend...nothing that won't pass with time, I suppose. It seems, though, if bad luck is to be had...then it is definitely to be had by me! I always feel that a person determines his/her own fate, but sometimes the unexpected happens and that fate is changed.

I do think that my weekend was rough, but in comparison to what others are going through, my weekend was "lame" (as my 6 year old would say)!!! I definitely think that you are only given what you can handle, so if someone thinks that I am strong enough to handle my recent events...then, I will roll with the punches...get back up and jump in the game of life again!

My dad used to have a bumper sticker on his truck with this quote:
"Tough times don't last, but tough people do!"

I always loved that quote...it was geared to the events of the economy in the 80s, but could also be associated with my stream of bad luck.

Well, if nothing else I found some fabulous songs this weekend...downloading them into my phone now (the phone I dropped in the water the first day I had it). On somewhat of a country kick right now...

Enjoy:

~GreenDay~

Loving GreenDay right now...some of their new and some of their old...

In my opinion, this song is AMAZING! It really details the unpredictability of life and how that unpredictability should be cherished. I will continue to cherish the unpredictable.
