been a long week . . .

i'm so glad it's friday. in about an hour a plane will land in denver which is bringing my baby home! this is the first time in a long time that the shoe has been on the other foot. usually i'm the one that's gone. i don't like this. i don't like this at all. i've read, stroked poppy, cleaned house and have the place shining. 'cmon home precious.

say what you need to say . . .

take all of your wasted honor.
every little past frustration.
take all of your so called problems,
better put 'em in quotations.

say what you need to say . . .

walkin' like a one man army,
fightin' with the shadows in your head.
livin' up the same old moment
knowin' you'd be better off instead

if you could only. . . say what you need to say . . .

have no fear for givin' in.
have no fear for giving over.
you better know that in the end
it's better to say too much, than never to say what you need to say again.

even if your hands are shaking,
and your faith is broken.
even as the eyes are closin',
do it with a heart wide open.

say what you need to say . . .

john mayer - the bucket list

something old, something new . . .

"I will give you a new heart (corazón nuevo) and put a new spirit in you; I will remove from you your heart of stone and give you a heart of flesh." Ezekiel 36:26

i'm not sure why it took so long. perhaps it really doesn't matter that much. i've always heard "it's not how you start, but how you finish."

sometimes i think about all that could have been, and very quickly have to refocus to think about all that still can be.

all i know is that old things have passed away and all is becoming new. . .
