Where have we gone?

I have somehow lost myself...
I have been surrounded by strangers for too long.
I go deep within myself, looking,
Only to find emptiness where there used to be joy...
An uneasy sense of longing where one there was peace.

I could look into your eyes and feel warmth and love...
But where are you now?
Who can I look to that will know me in that instant,
When our eyes speak of a love that has been there for so long?
Where do I turn to find myself again... to feel love again....

may all your dreams stay big ....

If you've read this blog before, you know music moves me...

I got to a Rascal Flatts concert recently, and reminded me of friends I miss. One of the guys' songs is like it comes straight from my heart.



I hope the days come easy and the moments pass slow,
And each road leads you where you wanna go,
And if you're faced with a choice, and you have to choose,
I hope you choose the one that means the most to you.
And if one door opens to another door closed,
I hope you keep on walkin' till you find the window,
If it's cold outside, show the world the warmth of your smile.
But more than anything, more than anything...

My wish, for you, is that this life becomes all that you want it to,
Your dreams stay big, your worries stay small,
You never need to carry more than you can hold,
And while you're out there getting where you're getting to,
I hope you know somebody loves you, and wants the same things too,
Yeah, this, is my wish.

I hope you never look back, but you never forget,
All the ones who love you, in the place you left,
I hope you always forgive, and you never regret,
And you help somebody every chance you get,
Oh, you find God's grace, in every mistake,
And always give more than you take.
But more than anything, yeah, more than anything...

My wish, for you, is that this life becomes all that you want it to,
Your dreams stay big, your worries stay small,
You never need to carry more than you can hold,
And while you're out there getting where you're getting to,
I hope you know somebody loves you, and wants the same things too,
Yeah, this, is my wish. Yeah, yeah.

My wish, for you, is that this life becomes all that you want it to,
Your dreams stay big, your worries stay small,
You never need to carry more than you can hold,
And while you're out there getting where you're getting to,
I hope you know somebody loves you, and wants the same things too,
Yeah, this, is my wish (my wish, for you).

This is my wish (my wish, for you)
I hope you know somebody loves you (my wish, for you).
May all your dreams stay big (my wish, for you).

a touching Christmas story ...

A married couple had been out shopping at the mall for most of the afternoon. Suddenly, the wife realized her husband had "disappeared." The somewhat irate spouse called her mate's cell phone and demanded: Where the hell are you?

Husband: Darling, you remember that jewelry shop where you saw that diamond necklace and totally fell in love with it and I didn't have the money for it at that time... and said, Baby, it will be yours some day.

Wife, smiling and blushing: Yes, I remember that my love.

Husband: Well, I'm in the bar next to that shop. 

                 Oops, that wasn't the touching Christmas story I wanted to share...  check back in later and I'll keep looking.

well, at least Grandma no longer worries about getting run over by a reindeer!

Finally!!! Not sure if it was Santa's fault, or if it was the pilot's fault ...

 ... but Grandma won't be worrying about getting run over by a reindeer this year!

Grandma must have nine lives....

Grandma got run over by a reindeer ... 

Every year, keep hearing the Christmas tune "Grandma got ran over by a reindeer" (have even heard other muscians do the song besides the original smartass), now see a commercial with same theme. How many lives does the ol' girl have anyway???

Where are our transportation department dollars going? Don't ya think they could afford a sign or two? It's not like they haven't heard the song for years too, and know Santa's driving record when it comes to poor Grandma ...

If we're going to keep hearing the same song, I'd like to hear some more verses ... let her survive and have some revenge on Santa's drunken driving.

                                                                                                           Just sayin'.....

aahhh yes, those bar jokes never get old ....

A grasshopper walks into a bar. The bartender says, "We have a drink here named after you." The grasshopper says, "Bob?"

 A mushroom walks into a bar and orders a drink. The bartender says, "I can't serve you." The mushroom says, "Why not? I'm a fun-guy."

Two men walk into a bar... you'd think one of them would have seen it.

So, thought a video of the bar jokes would be a nice switch --
Two girls walk into a bar...
