How to Make a Change

1. Notice : Wake up and open your eyes.

2. Choose : Make a decision that something has to be different and that you're committed to seeing it happen.

3. Act : Go out and make your dreams a reality!

He said: "Just think it over, and write me a list,
"So we can figure out what we both deserve."
She hardly could believe it, that their love had come to this:
Dividing an' deciding his and hers.
But she grabbed a paper napkin, an' asked the waitress for a pen.
An' one by one, she wrote down what she wanted most from him.

"Honesty, sincerity, tenderness and trust.
"A little less time for the rest of the world,
"And more for the two of us.
"Kisses each mornin', 'I love you's' at night,
"Just like it used to be.
"The way life was when you were in love with me."

-Rodney Atkins

This song is beautifully written. I really like it. If you knew who I was you'd probably make fun of me. But I don't even care.

Best Friends

If I still had my best friend with me this is what I would say to him.  And... always make sure to say things to people before they're gone.  When they're gone it's too late

" I just want to tell you a few things.  You're my best friend.  You have been since they day I was born.  You've always been right by my side.  I never had a chance to properly thank you for all that you've done for me.  You're amazing.  I miss you so much that it hurts.  I think of you every day. I will always remember you. Watch out for me. Will ya?"

I know that's only one-sided dialogue but I wish I could have more then one way communication..

Six Words

Life Can Be A Living Hell

Carry On

I Know that everyone already knows this song. But it has gotten me through a lot. It has a very powerful message.

Well I woke up to the sound of silence the cars 
Were cutting like knives in a fist fight
And I found you with a bottle of wine
Your head in the curtains and heart like the fourth of July

You swore and said we are not
We are not shining stars
This I know
I never said we are

Though I've never been through hell like that
I've closed enough windows to know you can never look back

If you're lost and alone
Or you're sinking like a stone
Carry on
May your past be the sound of your feet upon the ground 
Carry on

Carry on, carry on

LONELY

Rooted in Pain

Up from a past that's rooted in pain

I RISE

Still I Rise

Maya Angelou

Wanted

You know I'd fall apart without you

I don't know how you do what you do

'Cause everything that don't make sense about me

Makes sense when I'm with you

'Cause I wanna wrap you up

Wanna kiss your lips

I wanna make you feel wanted

And I wanna call you mine

Wanna hold your hand forever

And never let you forget it

Yeah, I, I wanna make you feel wanted

Growing up

This is where I'd like to be when I grow up. Do I tell people this? Of course not! That isn't cool!'who wants to live on a farm? I want to fit in... But if you really knew me you would know this is my dream.

Death..

He said I lost my daddy, when I was eight years old,
That cave-in at the Kincaid mine left a big old hole,
And I lost my baby brother, my best friend and my left hand
In a no win situation in a place called Vietnam
And last year I watched my loving wife, of fifty years waste away and die
And I held her hand til her heart of gold stopped pumping,
So this ain't nothin'
 -Craig Morgan

Hero

Cause I've been watching you dad, ain't that cool
I'm your buckaroo, I wanna be like you
And eat all my food and grow as tall as you are
By then I'll be as strong as superman
We'll be just alike, hey won't we dad
When I can do everything you do
Cause I've been watching you
-Rodney Atkins

It blows my mind to think that in 8 years this could be me and my son..

Failure

My Biggest fear is failure. Why am I failing everyday then? Why can't I get those good grades? Why can't I be the friend for people that I need in my life? Why don't I just get over my pride and help those in need? Because I am a failure. I'm living in my biggest fear.

Chicks Dig It

Hey y'all.. watch this
Daddy's belt, momma's drapes
Standin' tall on the backyard shed
Lookin' cool in my superman cape
I told the the neighborhood girl
Say hey y'all watch this
My fate was a broken arm
My reward one big kiss
When daddy asked me why I did it
I made him laugh out loud when I told him
'Cause the chicks dig it

Scars heal, glory fades
And all we're left with are the memories made
Pain hurts, but only for a minute
Yeah life is short so go on and live it
'Cause the chicks dig it
-Chris Cagle

Oreos Are On My Mind

Just because I'm a superhero doesn't mean that I'm not afraid of things... I can never eat another Oreo...

Just Do It

So you're standing in the middle of the thunder and lightning
I know you're feeling like you just can't win, but you're trying
It's hard to keep on keepin' on, when you're being pushed around
Don't even know which way is up, you just keep spinning down, 'round, down…

Every storm runs, runs out of rain
Just like every dark night turns into day
Every heartache will fade away
Just like every storm runs, runs out of rain

So hold your head up and tell yourself that there's something more
And walk out that door,
Go find a new rose, don't be afraid of the thorns
'Cause we all have thorns
Just put your feet up to the edge, put your face in the wind
And when you fall back down, keep on rememberin'

Every storm runs, runs out of rain

Living or Achieving?

Are we living?  I know we're alive... But are we living?  Are we going about day to day trying to get the most out of life?

“The potential of the average person is like a huge ocean unsailed, a new continent unexplored, a world of possibilities waiting to be released and channeled toward some great good.” -Brian Tracy

As humans we have the capability to become.  That's something special that all of us have within us. We all want to become something that is special or means something to someone. But we have all experienced the fear of failure. And sometimes... We are our worst critic and we tear ourselves down when, in reality, we should be our own biggest fan. We all want to make a difference but maybe we don't want to be mocked. Well don't let 'striking out' get in your way following your dreams!

I'm not what I look like

Here we go,

Everyone thinks that I'm a superhero. Well I'm not. I'm just a normal person. Nothing special, nothing important. Everyone can be a hero if only they choose to. There are always going to be people who try to tell us that we can't make a difference or that we aren't good enough. As my friend Batman said  
"Because some men aren't looking for anything logical, like money. They can't be bought, bullied, reasoned, or negotiated with. Some men just want to watch the world burn." - The Dark Knight
 
The truth is.. We aren't superhero's. We do get hurt and life is hard. But hang in there and, like the name of the blog, just Roll With It!
