House Warming

I open my hands up to see what I've got
My days slip like coins into a slot they are gone
And the shadows lie long

I've been banking on a broken machine, left unattended like most of my dreams
Rusty components of an unmarked song
We've been staring down the brilliant dream, the sun burns our eyes
We've been fighting for the love of our lives

All around us things come apart, broken pieces and broken hearts
Fix me, oil me, match me with the next best thing

Who can blueprint a plan to make love stay sturdy and weatherproof, ushering in a new revolution
At the drawing board the hopeful ones still try
How can we help it when we're fighting for the love of our lives

Perfect Day

It's such a perfect day,
You just keep me hanging on.

Day 1

The night sky view from my new place. Hopefully it will feel like "home"soon enough.

Pack it up, pack it in...

Moving is bittersweet.

"Don't you think I was too young to be messed with?

The girl in the dress cried the whole way home.

I should have known."

"Awash in the illusion of this bliss..."

Lazy Days

It's gonna be another flip flop summer
Kick off your shoes and call up your lover
Say, "Hey baby, the winter is over
Let's head South awhile"

Every day's a new day"

Birthday - Take 1

Thanks to Dad & Mirta for a nice birthday dinner!

Freckles

If I knew then what I know now
I would have told myself don't worry any longer it's OK
'cause a face without freckles is like a sky without stars
Why waste a second not loving who you are
Those little imperfections make you beautiful, lovable, valuable,
They show your personality inside your heart
Reflecting who you are

- Natasha Bedingfield


He Loves Me, He Loves Me Not...

"I build myself up and fly around in circles

Wait then as my heart drops and back begins to tingle

Finally, could this be it?"

Shine a Light

A wise man recently told me...

• Always stay positive because it could be worse
• The scariest place to be by yourself is in your own head
• There is no such thing as a coincidence
• When something is wrong you don't feel it in your heart or your head, you feel it in your gut
• Life is too short to worry...waste...complain...hold a grudge

You and I, Face to Face

I drive a three county highway
and every one of them town's got a firework show.
It's 4th of July and I'm just now getting home,
on the horizon, I can see 'em all unfold.
